Its a fun an entertaining read, and it will occassionally make you very angry because it does center colonized people and their mistreatment quite readily. Here he talks about the State and Markets.

In that common-sense view, the State and the Market tower above all else as diametrically opposed principles. Historical reality reveals, however, that they were born together and have always been intertwined. The one thing that all these misconcep­tions have in common, we will find, is that they tend to reduce all hu­man relations to exchange, as if our ties to society, even to the cosmos itself, can be imagined in the same terms as a business deal. This leads to another question: If not exchange, then what? In chapter five, I will begin to answer the question by drawing on the fruits of anthropol­ogy to describe a view of the moral basis of economic life; then return to the question of the origins of money to demonstrate how the very principle of exchange emerged largely as an effect of violence--that the real origins of money are to be found in crime and recompense, war and slavery, honor, debt, and redemption.
