Nice recommendation, I've added to my reading list.
I have read Graeber's Debt and it's a great book but always thought that it left out many so questions unanswered. His anthropological treatment of money is quite nice until feudalism, but when he starts explaining the start of the Enlightenment and the gold standard in Europe things seemed very rushed and inadequately explained. Also it only touches upon our current system (post-Bretton Woods neoliberalism) briefly in the last chapter, which was a letdown since I though Graeber would have many comments about our current configuration of society.
