I must admit I'm tempted to get you started :). Can you recommend a review of it that shares your criticism?
- rsj_hn 5y agoBrad DeLong (economics professor) famously went to town on the book. Others did, too. Search his blog with the keyword Graeber or Google "delong graeber" to review some of the debate.
- rStar 5y agothe debt book taught me more about life and society than any other book i’ve read. it also turns out to be a really great help reading people as well, by gauging their response.
- vishnugupta 5y ago> the debt book taught me more about life and society than any other book i’ve read. Same for me. I'm not well read in that topic so I can't compare Debt book with anything else as such. The sheer expanse of time period it covers and various topics it touches is very impressive indeed. FWIW I'm half way through reading "The Nature of Money"[1] which was published well before The Debt and I'm tempted to think that the Debt book is significantly influenced by the former.

- pgwhalen 5y agoI enjoyed the book very much, for how it shed light on the real meaning and use of money. In what sense has it helped you read people?
