Todo libro de economía hace la misma aseveración: el dinero se inventó para dar solución a la complejidad creciente de los sistemas de trueque. Esta versión de la historia tiene un grave problema, no hay evidencia alguna que la sustente.David Graeber, uno de los antropólogos más reputados del mundo, expone una historia alternativa a la aparición del dinero y los mercados, y analiza cómo la deuda ha pasado de ser una obligación económica a una obligación moral.

Es hoy, transcurridos 5000 años, cuando por primera vez nos encontramos ante una sociedad dividida entre deudores y acreedores, con instituciones erigidas con la voluntad única de proteger a los prestamistas.A la estela de la gran crisis que padecemos se hace imprescindible analizar la naturaleza de la deuda, el dinero y las instituciones financieras que tienen el destino del mundo en sus manos, desmontar ideas encastradas en nuestra conciencia colectiva y superarlas conociendo cuál es la verdadera historia de la economía, o lo que es lo mismo, de la relación del ser humano con el dinero. Al margen, por supuesto, de mitos–el truque- o de postulados que tienen más de ideológico que de histórico.En deuda es una crónica fascinante, pertinente y brillante que viene a poner luz sobre el debate más importante que ha tenido lugar en los últimos años.
