I'm listening to David Graeber's "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" right now and thinking of you about every 20 minutes.

Not at all! It's basically an "everything you know about money is wrong" argument from an anthropologist who not only spent 3 years in Madagascar, but whose professional economic experience seems largely dedicated to opposing the IMF.

I'm going to finish it before I recommend it but right now, I see myself recommending it.

I've got to start audio books. NPR is boring me. As I drive 1.5 hours per day, I think it'd be a much higher ROI.

I'n'I can hook you up. Barring that, so can most libraries.

I decisively stopped listening to NPR in 2003 when they had a Marketplace article talking about how the economy can't be bad because orders of Learjets and Gulfstreams were up. I haven't missed it.
