Margaret Atwood's provocative recent book of non
-
fiction
contains many literary references, whi
ch help to effectively highlight her points
about such a topical matter as debt, debt as a philosophical, politico
-
economic,
religious, and historical issue over the centuries. In the central chapters of the
book she looks at the Protestant Reformation and
the introduction of interest on
loans and in this light analyzes the novels by Dickens, Irving, Thackeray and G.
Eliot. Her final statement in the book is, however, about the ecological debt we
all have to pay to Earth in order to ensure our existence.
