Debt as Power is a timely and innovative contribution to our understanding of one of the most prescient issues of our time: the explosion of debt across the global economy and related requirement of political leaders to pursue exponential growth to meet the demands of creditors and investors.
The book is distinctive in offering a historically sensitive and comprehensive analysis of debt as an interconnected and global phenomenon. Rather than focusing on the historical emergence of debt as a moral obligation, the authors argue that debt under capitalism can be conceived of as a technology of power, intimately tied up with the requirement for perpetual growth and the differential capitalization that benefits ‘the 1%’.
Their account begins with the recognition that the histories of human communities and their natural environment are interconnected in complex spatial and hierarchical relations of power and to understand their development we need to not only examine the particularities of a given case, but more importantly their interconnected, interdependent and international relations. Since debt under capitalism is increasingly ubiquitous at all levels of society and economic growth is now the sole mantra of dominant political parties around the world, the authors argue that tracing the evolution and transformation of debt as a technology of power is crucial for understanding the ‘present as history’ and possible alternatives to our current trajectory.

Before you can control your finances, save money, and get out of debt, you must first understand your spending habits. Sounds simple, right? But for most people it is not, because budgets are based on complicated monthly spending habits, which can be overwhelming, causing people to give up.
Now, there’s a different way that will revolutionize the way you look at personal finance. In an incredibly easy, comprehensible way, The Dollar Code shows you how to break down spending in order to pay off debt and achieve financial freedom–no matter how many other methods have failed you in the past.
Jason R. Hastie’s method is based on the principle of living within your means, but what makes it different is that it gives you just one number to remember—your own personal “Daily Digit”—the amount of money you can freely spend each day without going into debt. This one number is the key to financial freedom because it makes spending easy to understand, and when you understand spending, you can control it.
Who will benefit from reading and applying The Dollar Code? Everyone who has ever identified with one or more of these statements: I can’t understand why I don’t have enough money at the end of the week.
I’ve tried budgeting and failed because it was too complicated. I feel out of control of my finances. I get depressed about not having enough money. I have too much debt and feel like the world is caving in. I feel constantly bombarded by unexpected fees and expenses.Not only does Hastie’s Dollar Code put those statements to rest, it also addresses a broad range of issues and scenarios that sometimes catch us off guard and, if we’re not careful, throw us into a tailspin. Hastie also tackles head-on issues such as the benefits and pitfalls of credit cards, emergency funds, saving for the future, and “the fun bucket.” His handy “twenty tips” and worksheets at the back of the book make applying the dollar code even easier and, once you unlock your code, you’ll understand why it is the one and only number you need to achieve financial freedom. Really—it’s that simple . . . and fun!
4: The Principles of a Debt-Free Life is the story of one couple’s journey out of credit card debt and what they learned is necessary for anyone seeking financial independence. While most books about personal finance focus on anecdotes and parental-style dos and don’ts, 4 focuses on the personal stories of the authors and the principles they learned that got them out of $51,000 worth of credit card debt. Adding a twist, the authors had a combined tenure in financial services of 21 years. Using their education, professional and personal experience they provide a roadmap for anyone seeking financial freedom.
How did Greece, with less than 3% of the population of the European Union, become the epicenter of Europe’s “existential crisis?” Why did Greece opt for an obligation-laden bailout rather than default or leave the Eurozone, as many said it should? Could it have avoided the disappointments that followed, including needing a second bailout, holding repeat elections, and swearing in its fourth prime minister in a year? The conventional narrative answered these questions by viewing the Greek crisis as the result of a “flawed currency union.” Many economists, moreover, thought Greece was foolish to seek a bailout rather than renege on its debts or leave the Eurozone. And as the crisis deepened, economists again blamed the international community for pushing “austerity” onto Greece. Beyond Debt offers a different account of this crisis. It sees it, first and foremost, as a Greek crisis, best understood through the lens of Greek history, politics and economics. The crisis was triggered by global events, but it was not caused by them. As the book shows, Greece’s chosen path—a bailout—made infinitely more sense than either a default or the abandonment of the common currency that many economists called for. And while others see “austerity” as the problem for Greece’s woes after the bailout, Beyond Debt blames instead an indecisive government that could not see reform through to the end.
