The 2008 Massey Lecture – Payback by Margaret Atwood is available for listening via streaming.

Atwood deals with the moral and social aspects of debt and finance.  This timely lecture series is both thought provoking and insightful.

Interesting Quote:
(From Lecture 3)
“Put a miller, a weaver, and a tailor in a bag, and shake them, the first that comes out will be a thief.”  
                                              — Howell 1659
(meaning they are all thieves as they process things, but do not produce them)
