Payback - (CBC Massey Lectures) by Margaret Atwood (Paperback)

Margaret Atwood's Payback is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of debt, delving into its cultural, historical, and literary significance.

This book offers a unique perspective on debt as a timely subject during the current period of economic upheaval.

Through her intelligent and imaginative approach, Atwood proposes that debt is like air - something we take for granted until things go wrong.

The book touches upon practical debt management and high finance, but also explores how debt has informed our thinking from preliterate times to the present day.

With a focus on the way we structure our social relationships and the stories we tell, Atwood shows that the idea of what we owe is built into the human imagination as one of its most dynamic metaphors.

Payback is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of debt and its impact on our society.
