贪婪之梦9

[00:06.22]	And, whether money takes the form of silver coins, seashells, bars of gold or bank notes,
[00:12.68]	that's been true from ancient times right down to the present day.
[00:17.29]	Even lumps of clay can work better than silver coins, if people have enough confidence in them.
[00:22.86]	In Ancient Mesopotamia, nearly 4,000 years ago,
[00:26.77]	people used clay tablets like these ones to commit themselves to particular financial transactions.
[00:33.20]	For example, this one, found a little southwest of Baghdad,
[00:37.49]	specifies that a debtor will repay a lender 330 measures of grain on the harvest day.
[00:45.06]	But this one's even more fascinating,
[00:46.55]	because what it says is that a debt of four measures of barley should be repaid to the bearer of the clay tablet.
[00:54.51]	And it's that idea of repayment to the bearer that really fascinates me.
