But when she did, she went on to have even greater musical success, elevating herself into the pantheon of rock ’n’ roll greats. It took courage and many years for her to break free of his coercive, manipulative grip. Hers was a life of extraordinary contrasts: huge fame matched by the brutal years she spent married to the monstrous Ike Turner, who first changed her name, then made her a star - but did so by beating her, controlling her and humiliating her. That she became one of the best-selling female singers of all time, with record sales of over 100 million, overcoming not just a dirt-poor upbringing in the cotton fields of America’s Deep South but a violent and abusive marriage, was as remarkable as any of the success that turned her into a musical colossus and global icon. From her towering stiletto heels to the body-hugging, thigh-skimming miniskirts, the rasping, husky voice and raunchy energetic stage shows, Tina Turner, who has died aged 83, was the undisputed queen of stadium rock.

Kafuko, a middle-aged character actor, used to be married. Ninety years later, Haruki Murakami’s men without women have come to the same conclusion, polishing it into a postmodern lifestyle. Men should never put themselves in the position where they can lose someone, a bereaved Italian soldier warns Hemingway’s long-running protagonist Nick Adams: instead, a man “should find things he cannot lose”. A quiet panic afflicts the male characters in Hemingway’s 1927 collection Men Without Women, that touchstone in the development of both Hemingwayism and the short story.

Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. He shows that for more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods-that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. The problem with this version of history? There’s not a shred of evidence to support it.
