Can't Pay, Won't Pay: The Case for Economic Disobedience and Debt Abolition by Debt Collective
5.0
I'm down for the debt strike. There's so much good information in this brief book that it's hard to summarize but it talks about the history of debt, how debt is used as a weapon, and why not paying your debt as an individual is a losing battle... but not paying your debt as a collective is a strategy. I'm paraphrasing, but one of the main things I got was "if you owe the bank 100,000 they own you... if you owe them 100 million, you own the bank" - the way we've saddled poor countries (and poor individuals) with debt to benefit a small percentage of countries, corporations, and billionaires is obscene.
