Duty. The first 5000 years of history

A large -scale and revolutionary study of the history of commodity -money relations from ancient times to the present day, undertaken by the American anthropologist, professor of the London School of Economics and one of the "anti -roliders" of the OcCupy Wall Street movement, which came up with a slogan "We are 99%" Greber, based on anthropological methods, puts forward the thesis, which is based on what we traditionally call the economy is the category of debt, which at different stages of the development of society can take the forms of money, barter, pledges, loans, shares and so on. One of the imperatives of the book is to tear out the economy from the paws of the "professional economists" who proved their failure during the last world crisis, and place it in a wider context of the history of culture, political science, sociology and other humanitarian disciplines.
