==The history of the term “debtor”==

Anthropologist David Graeber suggests in ''[[Debt: The First 5000 Years]]'' that trading began with some form of credit namely the promise to pay later for already handed over goods. Because of this it can be said that debtors and creditors existed even before the implementation of coinage.<ref name="Debt: The First 5000 Years">{{cite web |url=http://www.unwelcomeguests.net/archive/audiobooks/Debt,%20The%20First%205000%20Years/David%20Graeber%20-%20Debt,%20The%20First%205000%20Years.pdf |title=Debt: The first 5000 years |publisher=Unwelcome Guests |access-date=2014-08-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140704024745/http://www.unwelcomeguests.net/archive/audiobooks/Debt%2C%20The%20First%205000%20Years/David%20Graeber%20-%20Debt%2C%20The%20First%205000%20Years.pdf |archive-date=2014-07-04 }}</ref>
