      By Graeber, David
       2012., Melville House Call No: 336.34 G73d    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a 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. --.

      By Birdsell, Sandra, 1942-
       c2010., Adult, Random House Canada Call No: Fic Bir    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "After you've lost it all -- job, house, savings, future -- what have you got left? On a chilly early morning in late spring, Joe Beaudry and his wife, Laurie, wake up in circumstances that would challenge saints: they are on the lam in a stolen motorhome on the edge of a Walmart parking lot in Regina, Saskatchewan. They've gone bust, spectacularly: lost the house that was Joe's gift from his dad, lost the business Joe started when he got married, and stuck his ancient father in a nursing home in Winnipeg so they could flee their creditors. Joe knows the reality of the situation, and is trying to raise enough cash to get them both to Fort McMurray where he hopes he can find work. But Laurie, even though she watched Joe trash their high-end appliances with a sledgehammer when the yard sale didn't deliver enough cash, somehow thinks it's only temporary, and maxes out their last credit card on wardrobe and hair dye and wishes and dreams. For Joe, it's the last straw in a marriage that once seemed star-crossed and now seems simply unworkable. Pushed to figure out what to do next, Joe simply takes off hitchhiking, leaving Laurie waiting for Joe, and Joe wondering how he will ever find meaning in a world that has disappointed his every expectation. The road for both of them provides surprising answers..."--Inside jacket.

      By Hamilton, Ian R. (Ian Robertson), 1925-
       c2011., Adult, House of Anansi Press Series Title: Ava Lee   Volume: 1Summary Note: Ava Lee is a young Chinese-Canadian forensic accountant, who specializes in recovering massive depts and works for an elderly Hong Kong based "Uncle," who may or may not have ties to the Triads. At 5"3 ' and 115 lbs, she hardly seems a threat. But her razor sharp intelligence and unorthodox rules of engagement allow her to succeed where traditional methods have failed. In the Water Rat of Wanchai Ava is persuaded to help out an old friend of Uncle's, whose nephew is owed $5 million from a seafood company that was producing cooked shrimp for a major U.S. retailer. The dead went sideways. The money disappeared. On a journey that takes her to Hong Kong, Bangkok, Guyana, and the British Virgin Islands, Ava encounters everything from the Thai katoey culture to corrupt but helpful law enforcers. But it's in Guyana where she meets her match: Captain Robbins, a godfather-like figure who controls the police, politicians, and criminals alike. In exchange for his help, Robbins decides he wants a piece of Ava's $5 million action and will do whatever it takes to get his fair share.
