THE PHENOMENON OF THE “DEBT SLAVERY” IN THE CUNEİ FORMED LOWTEXT
Abstract
In most of the Old Age Societies, a large part of the popülation
consisted of farmers living land based and artisans dealing with small
handicrafts. In the sesocieties, we can call agrarian society, since the all
life is linked to land and climate, many families were losing their land and
income sources when they were in need during the bad harvest years, drought
time, epidemic years or inequity in income distribution. Cuneiformed low texts
were registered that those, who are deprived of sufficient income to save their
lives, borrowed money that they couldn’t pay, and they couldn’t pay debts when
it become due and even some cases family members had to sacrifice their
freedoms.
