First published in 2011, the late David Graeber’s Debt: The First 5000 Years was transformative in understanding what debt is and why we should push for debt cancellation.

    Thank you for this! Graeber was my favorite anthropologist, and his work informed my research in grad school.

    I departed the academic world years ago, but felt a huge loss for the discipline and for the global left when he passed. Currently working my way (very slowly) through The Dawn of Everything.
