[WS:] I have not gotten to this point yet (I am a slow reader ;)) but if this is indeed what he claims, he is demonstrably wrong. Modern capitalism is the only system in which debt can be written off as in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Been there done that. Under other systems, you had to sell you family or yourself to pay off debt - which is what Graeber does argue.
