Revolutions in Reverse

David Graeber Β· 2011
72/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Graeber writes with genuine intellectual range, pulling political theory, art, and anthropology into a coherent argument that radical alternatives are more available than we think. The essays are uneven and the explicitly anarchist framing will feel alienating to readers outside the left, but the best pieces are genuinely thought-provoking. Worth it for anyone already curious about Graeber's ideas, though Debt is probably the better entry point.
