About the Author

David Graeber (1961–2020) was an American anthropologist, activist, and public intellectual whose work bridged academic theory and radical politics with rare clarity and wit. A key figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement and a fierce critic of managerialism and neoliberalism, Graeber was one of the most original and provocative thinkers of the 21st century.
