Margaret Atwood's: "Payback Debt"
Margaret Atwood's five Massey Lectures on debt are collected in her 2008 book, "Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth." From the stories we tell, to the way we form social relationships, Atwood claims that debt plays a role. In her fifth and final lecture, she addresses the notion of our debt to NATURE and the need to find a new way of interacting with the natural world before it is too late.
