Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth (CBC Massey Lectures)(Signed) - Atwood, Margaret

SIGNED BY MARGARET ATWOOD on title page; As New; Payback is not a book about practical debt management of high finance, although it does touch upon these subjects. Rather, it is an investigation into the idea of debt as an ancient and central motif in religion, literature, and the structure of human societies. By investigating how debt has informed our thinking from pre-literate times to the present day, Atwood shows that the idea of what we owe one another - in other words, "debt" - is built into the human imagination and is one of its most dynamic metaphors.
