Debt: The First 5000 Years might be worth a look for a long-term perspective, if you've not read it already. If you only want the details of how the system works right now then you might find wading through Assyrians unrewarding though.
You should probably take it with a pinch of salt: the author had a few howlers about Silicon Valley's political history, which damned it in the eyes of not a few.
A friend who's in more of a position to know has not actually been good enough to read the thing before me and vouch for the anthropology.
(I've still not read it, but it might be getting nearer.)
