Debt $32 Before there was money, there was debt Every economics textbook says the same thing: Money was invented to replace onerous and complicated barter systems—to relieve ancient people from having to haul their goods to market. The problem with this version of history? There’s not a shred of evidence to support it. Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that for more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today without knowing it. Debt: The First 5,000 Years is a fascinating chronicle of this little known history—as well as how it has defined human history, and what it means for the credit crisis of the present day and the future of our economy. From the Hardcover edition. |

Emerging Market Debt by Kurz, Alexander [Paperback] $114.71 When we look at Emerging Markets eventful history at the capital market, we find that nearly each has defaulted on a sovereign bond even the United States at the time when it was a developing country. Today, the US is considered a safe harbor in the investing world, and countries that are now tagged Emerging Markets trade at razorthin margins over US Treasuries. Nevertheless, high yields coupled with low comovement with established asset classes put Emerging Market Debt in the spotlight massive capital inflows entailed a sharp compression of spreads towards less risky assets. Is this drop in risk premia justifiable by countryspecific fundamentals? Or is it driven by the abundance of globally investable liquidity and investors risk appetite? An understanding of this distinction is crucial for both policy makers in Emerging Markets and asset managers worldwide. Addressed to researchers and practitioners alike, this study derives a reducedform model and tests macroeconomic as well as global factors on their respective impact. Finally, Emerging Market Debt is related to other asset classes to gain insights into risk and return, portfolio diversification and asset allocation.

Custer's last stamp... Cover which never reached Little Bighorn soldier for sale by Paul Fraser Collectibles
Spink Shreves is all set to hold a spectacular sale later this month: its August 2011 Collector's Series Sale. These sales are always greatly anticipated for the depth and variety on offer.
One source for material is The Estate of Raymond L. "Pat" Buse, Jr which is a voluminous collection containing mint never hinged stamps of the world. Then there is the Christopher C Smith Collection of Classic India.
We'll be bringing you some more details from the catalogue soon, but in the meantime, here are two nuggets of American history nestled in the early stages of the auction:
Firstly, there is a Thomas Jefferson cover featuring a 'free' frank marked by him as President on the folded cover addressed in his hand to Mr. James Dinsmore at Monticello, near Milton.
There is a red "Washn. City/June 26" datestamp and matching straightline 'FREE' handstamp, with just a few light scattered toned spots well away from the signature. It is very fine, and the most desirable form of the Thomas Jefferson frank.
More exciting still, from nearly a century on, is an undelivered letter sent to a soldier unable to receive it because he had lost his life at the Battle of Little Bighorn, also known as Custer's Last Stand.
Manuscript notation in red tells the intended reader "John S. Hiley was Killed in Battle on Little Big Horn River M.T. June 25 76" and matching text "Dead letter Office" all appears on the reverse of the cover from England.
The cover is franked by a left wing margin single of the 1873 3d Rose, Plate 19, tied by "Margate/Jy 30, 76" duplex postmark.
It is addressed to "John S. Hiley, 'E Troop' 7 Cavalry, Fort Abe Lincoln, Dakotah, United States of America" and in another hand "Bighorn Expedition," then marked "Dead" and in red "Dead" and "over,".
A faint red circular date stamp also ties the stamp. On the reverse there is a partial "Fort Abraham Lincoln, Dak/Oct 8" postmark and a blue triangular "Dead Letter Office/U.S.A./Oct 13, 76" handstamp, which is very fine.
It is a fabulous and historical cover addressed to a member of General Custer's 7th Cavalry while on the Little Bighorn Expedition against the Sioux Nation. Custer, regarded as a Civil War hero was killed, and the later retaliation crushed the Sioux.
Hiley had a history of his own. Born John Stuart Stuart-Forbes on May 28, 1849, he left England at 22, possibly fleeing a gambling debt, and adopted his brother-in-law's surname. He was reportedly found just a few feet from Custer's body.
The cover is expected to sell for $15,000-20,000 in Spink Shreves' auction which takes place on August 19-20 in New York.
