Here, anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: He shows that before there was money, there was debt. 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.

These days, most people assume you need to pay a boatload of money for a quality college education. As a result, students and their parents are willing to go into years of debt and potentially sabotage their financial futures just to get a fancy name on a diploma.

Death Without Debt NZ is dedicated to creating a future where the cost of dying doesn't add to the burden of grief. In the current Death, Burial and Cremation review we currently have a 1:60 year opportunity to break the hold the funeral industry has over New Zealanders. This chance must not be wasted. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that every New Zealander can say goodbye to their loved ones without worrying about debt.
