Today marks four years since David's passing. Every day, he becomes more and more important, not just to me but to many others as well. He would definitely be happy to know that. We will meet at 8 PM (London time), together with his friend, journalist Dyan Neary, to talk about

David’s mother, Ruth Rubenstein, at the White House with Franklin D. Roosevelt while touring the U.S. with the ‘Pins and Needles’ musical, which was put together by garment workers. davidgraeber.institute/today-marks-fo…

On planet Earth, another year passes without David Graeber (d. Sept. 2, 2020) Where’s the time going, my friend? Down here, things much as you predicted (or slightly worse, for now). Meanwhile, I’m hard at work on Book 2 of #TheDawnOfEverything It’ll be called #TheThirdFreedom

Four years since David passed. He left too soon, but he did leave us a lot to learn from and interrogate.

"Capitalism is a situation where people can systematically turn their wealth into power by control of productive resources. So if u control the means of production &other people don't own anything but their own labor, they're essentially forced to sell/rent themselves as slaves"

An extract from the introduction to the Book; Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber!

"The neoliberal (‘free market’) ideology that had dominated the world since the days of Thatcher and Reagan was really the opposite of what it claimed to be: it was really a political project dressed up as an economic one."

Capitalism and Feudalism!
