First book of the year 📚- Debt: The First 5,000 Years by anthropologist David Graeber. It is already incredibly eye-opening (I've just finished the third chapter).
To me, this is an example of how, throughout the ages, societies adopt narratives—in this case narratives about the existence and root purpose of money itself—that then become generationally ingrained as self-evident truths.
And, in chapter 3, I just came across a fascinating explanation of the symbols in the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, which was written in 1900.
