Hidden Interests In Credit And Finance: Power, Ethics, And Social Capital Across The Last Millennium

In this book, Greenberg and Park take an anthropological approach to the roots of Western finance and credit in ancient societies, covering a period of approximately five thousand years from early Mesopotamia to eleventh-century Islam. They reveal that credit is not just an economic transaction but a social relationship and a technology of power.
