The book is distinctive in offering a historically sensitive and comprehensive analysis of debt as an interconnected and global phenomenon. Rather than focusing on the historical emergence of debt as a moral obligation, the authors argue that debt under capitalism can be conceived of as a technology of power, intimately tied up with the requirement for perpetual growth and the differential capitalization that benefits ?the 1%?. Their account begins with the recognition that the histories of human communities and their natural environment are interconnected in complex spatial and hierarchical relations of power and to understand their development we need to not only examine the particularities of a given case, but more importantly their interconnected, interdependent and international relations. Since debt under capitalism is increasingly ubiquitous at all levels of society and economic growth is now the sole mantra of dominant political parties around the world, the authors argue that tracing the evolution and transformation of debt as a technology of power is crucial for understanding the ?present as history? and possible alternatives to our current trajectory. 410 0$aTheory for a global age. 606 $aCapitalism 606 $aCredit 606 $aDebt 610 $adebt 610 $aglobal economy 610 $ainvestors 610 $acreditors 610 $acapitalism 610 $ainequality 615 0$aCapitalism. 615 0$aCredit. 615 0$aDebt. 676 $a336.34 700 $aDi Muzio$b Tim$0863069 702 $aRobbins$b Richard H$g(Richard Howard),$f1940-, 801 2$bUkMaJRU 801 2$bAuAdUSA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996552347903316 996 $aDebt as power$91926670 997 $aUNISA
