This is economic anthropology at its best - relevant, sophisticated, and readable. The authors brilliantly show how debt has been the essential glue that holds the world economic system together, an instrument that spreads untold misery and modern forms of slavery, to the continuing benefit of creditors. A powerful anthropological answer to Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century, Debt as Power is a clear-eyed and thoroughly original dissection of capitalism, an essential guide to understanding how today's world works. This is an important book, a comprehensive and sensible guide to our economic future. Richard Wilks, Distinguished Professor, Indiana University, USA
