Thread for discussing David Graeber (and maybe other cool anthropology and money history and activism related stuff)

so I'm not an expert but I get the sense that for the most part he's not himself a ~revolutionary thinker~, but a lot of the time someone who's pushing (relatively) overlooked stuff from the past (marcel mauss esp.) but when it comes to 'making stuff happen' - I don't think you have to be a revolutionary thinker. you do need to be someone who's good at framing issues and he is.

there are an huge global problems right now that could be solved if it weren't for contemporary cultural attitudes w/r/t the morality of debt and it's not an issue that's gonna go away anytime soon so I think he's well-positioned to be one of the more important public figures for the left.
