Pay it Off: the Dark Side of Debt and Wealth
About This Novel
"Debt" has never just been a political and economic issue, nor is it just something that CEOs, heads of state, hedge fund managers, or mortgage lenders should be concerned about. It is also a cultural issue closely related to modern people's lives. Research on debt and wealth affects the way we think. In "Paying Off: The Dark Side of Debt and Wealth," Atwood uses a limited space to delve into the ancient and important topic of debt, analyzing it at the level of religion, literature, and social structure. This book is both a unique lecture on economic history and a literary work on morality, politics, and theology, including credit cards, computer programming, "Star Trek", Dickens novels, "The Divine Comedy", the history of taxation and other diverse knowledge - Atwood's encyclopedic citations make "Repay", like many of her works, a weird but wonderful mixture.
