A Book I’ve Enjoyed Reading

I like reading different kinds of books, about different topics.
A book that I remember enjoying a lot was “The Debt: A 5000 Thousand Year History” by David Graeber, an anthropologist and anarchist. As you can see in the title, the book is about history but also about a view of the economy. I read this book about 7 years ago, and it was about a thousand pages long, so a lot of its details escape my memory. But in general, the book explained the link there has been in history, especially from the time of the Roman Empire, between war and looting, the creation of slavery, and the creation of Nation-States based on imposing taxes on the people that are conquered, showing the direct link between the capitalist economy and the use of military force.
One of the points that I really liked about this book is that it showed that there have been in history (and still are in some parts of the world) different systems of economy. One example is that instead of using paper money, people get indebted with each other in such a way that everyone in the community should have access to the things they need. According to the author, this debt system makes us take care of our human relations, because we need people to trust us in our community in order to have these kinds of exchanges.
The book is really well written and is easy to understand for everyone. And he can be funny as well, sometimes using irony and a sense of humour.

    The subject of this book reminds me of a documentary called "Zeitgeist", which links topics such as war and economy, including religion and social problems.

    I'm not a big fan of reading, but when I do I'd rather that the book talks about history, this book seems pretty interesting just by reading that the writer is anthropologist and anarchist and he uses irony as humor :)

    I think I have not read in any other book on this subject, I do not usually get attention, but this sounds quite interesting.

    It sounds interesting, I like to read but I do not give myself much time to do it, most of the books I've read are about history or important events

A Photograph You Like

Hi everyone! Today, we're going to write about a photograph you like. In your text, you must say: Who took the picture What it shows When it was taken Why you like it Anything else you want to say And upload it Write at least 150 words Here is my example: In this photo, I am standing with my mother in the middle of a desert called Valle del Arcoíris. This place is very near San Pedro de Atacama, and we went there in May 2016. I think a tour guide took this picture and he said that, at that time, it had been recently discovered, so not many people had been there before. This valley is special because it has colours from the different minerals that have deposited over time. You could find green, red, yellowish and different kinds of orange sands. There were also some rock formations that were very interesting near this place. I love this picture because I love deserts in general, and this one is very unique, but also because it gives me a good me...

But when I really think about it, my favourite piece of technology is the Kobo e-reader. Kobo is a brand of an electronic book reader, just like Kindle, and I got it as a birthday gift about 6 years ago from my sister.
