That's just totally incorrect. Most people throughout history didn't even use money, let alone debt.

You need to read "Debt: The First 5,000 Years" by David Graeber. Debt goes back a lot longer than money, and has been part of human existence for as long as that existence has been recorded.

There is no human civilization without debt.
