DESCRIPTION:This work by David Graeber (who is known as one of the theorists of the OWS 
 and anarchist movement) has some very insightful facts from history and 
 anthropology showing that debt has been in existence for millennia and is 
 based originally on not barter (of which there is no real evidence), but on 
 the trade of favors. Money on the other hand rose from the need to pay 
 soldiers who were not neighbors, but mercenaries who could not be counted 
 on to return favors or debts. Before the invention of coin or cash, the 
 first agrarian empires used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell 
 goods.\n	After a talk on the contents of this work by Glenn Turner, we will 
 move into a lively discussion of its concepts along with questions and 
 comments. How can these concepts help us understand the current Economic 
 Depression and the Occupy movement?\n\n
