This languished on my reading list for a long time, thinking it was a orthodox capitalist history. Exceeded expectations by being a reframing of financial history through the lens of anthropology, yet still not as good as Dawn of Everything. Maybe I have more priors in this space.
I would read as a supplement to Dawn of Everything to understand Graeber’s evidence of societies that might have been, and why capitalism alone is not the single correct answer to the interaction of large groups of humans.
