Some months before Graeber's sudden death I finished his briliant anthropological work on debt.
It will be one of the canon works of humanities when human being starts to think twice about economy.
Graeber enlightened us as to the dark side of civilization. He revealed our dogmatic approaches toward sociology and history.
There are many illuminations on slavery, family, money, government, colonization, militarism and etc in DEBT.
He taught us anthropology is a libertarian science.

This book is where I encountered the debt theory of money (clearly articulated) for the first time.

Very good book. I learned a lot. I don't necessarily agree with the author's collectivist tendencies, though. If you read Lyn Alden's Broken Money, she addresses his debt theory on the origin of money. She gives a pretty good counter argument, if not full refutation. I would not really classify this work as libertarian. Just my opinion.

I'm going to read it soon. Hope to see the lights of wisdom in it not only the cliches of Austrian deciples.

The book is a good to book to understand the concept of debt and most importantly how money can be faked.

What did you like about the Dawn of Everything? I got about halfway through but found them to be overly focused on trying to achieve Rosseau's goal of equality (from what I remember) in a way I didn't find particularly worthwhile.

I just enjoyed the the overview, a few years ago when I first started this journey I didn't know anything about history didn't really know anything about the larger macroscope. When I had questions they gave me a good jumping off point too looking into more history I'm currently reading linen. It was pretty boring. I did about a quarter of real reading and the rest on audiobook. 😅😅
