Weisweiler, John

Recenzje

Offers a compelling discussion of modern assumptions of the universality of notions of value and economic behaviour...; Above all, the book shows the value of Graeber's work as an 'explanation framework,' as framed by Weisweiler, for the study of the roles of debt and money in the shaping of human relationships and for rethinking ancient and early medieval economic thought. The book is nicely dedicated to David Graeber's memory in a posthumous recognition of the importance of his work.
