Payback by Margaret Atwood
Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth
This book is an exploration of the concept of debt, both financial and moral, and its impact on individuals and societies. The author examines the historical, cultural, and moral implications of debt, drawing on a wide range of sources, from classical literature and modern economics to personal anecdotes. The book argues that our attitudes towards debt and wealth have a significant impact on our relationships, our societies, and our world, and calls for a re-evaluation of our attitudes towards debt and repayment.
