Hidden Interests in Credit and Finance: Power, Ethics, and Social Capital across the Last Millennium
James B. Greenberg
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.
