Debt - Updated and Expanded: The First 5,000 Years

Image
https://libcom.org/files/__Debt__The_First_5_000_Years.pdf  (eBook) http://www.unwelcomeguests.net/archive/audiobooks/Debt,%20The%20First%205000%20Years/Debt,%20The%20First%205000%20Years.zip  (Audio Book) Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: he shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections.

The Muqaddimah: An Introduction to History by Ibn Khaldun

Image
https://asadullahali.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/ibn_khaldun-al_muqaddimah.pdf The Muqaddimah , often translated as "Introduction" or "Prolegomenon," is the most important Islamic history of the premodern world. Written by the great fourteenth-century Arab scholar Ibn Khaldûn (d. 1406), this monumental work established the foundations of several fields of knowledge, including the philosophy of history, sociology, ethnography, and economics. The first complete English translation, by the eminent Islamicist and interpreter of Arabic literature Franz Rosenthal, was published in three volumes in 1958 as part of the Bollingen Series and received immediate acclaim in the United States and abroad. A one-volume abridged version of Rosenthal's masterful translation first appeared in 1969.
