In this book, James B. Greenberg and Thomas K. Park take an
anthropological approach to the economic history of the past one
thousand years and define credit as a potentially transformative
force involving inequalties, rather than an exchange of equal
valued commodites. Guiding readers through the medieval period all
the way to the modern day, and tracking through the Mediterranean
and Europe, Greenberg and Park reorient financial history and
position social capital and ethical thought at its center. They
examine the multicultural origins of credit and finance, from
banking to credit cards and predatory lending, and bringing us up
to date, they explore the forces that led to the collapse of global
credit markets in 2007-2008. This book is recommended for scholars
of anthropology, history, economics, religion, and sociology.
