Evolution of Debt, Bullion, and the Slavery-Coinage-Military Complex

The conversation shifts to the historical transition from debt-free receipts in Sumer to international bullion-based currencies. Citing David Graeber and David Assel, Farrell describes the "slavery-coinage-military complex" required by great empires to pay soldiers. This system gave rise to an international financial class of "bullion brokers" who viewed money as a monetized debt rather than a representation of goods.
