No debt is older than a favor. Seneca's On Benefits spends seven books on giving and receiving: what makes a gift generous, how to accept without servility, whether a son can outgive his father or a servant his master. Roman moral philosophy at its most practical and searching. Two thousand years later, gratitude still works exactly the way he says.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
