Historically, debt existed before money existed. But that only works in a framework where people can trust eachother to repay the debt.
Debt: The First 5000 Years by David Graeber is a cool book about this whole topic
I also liked Economics of Money and Banking, a course by Prof. Mehrilng of columbio university, which is available through coursera (1).
