Il professor Graeber contro la banda dell’Ormai

David Graeber, anthropologist and political activist born in New York, prematurely passed away in the Fall of 2020. His ability to communicate to a broader audience, his courage in tackling the ‘great questions’ of classical social science, and his pragmatic approach to anarchism as a political horizon for the present, made him an inspiring figure for scholars, activists, and public intellectuals worldwide. This article focuses on his groundbreaking theoretical contribution to the fields of economic and political anthropology, which represents an antidote to the intellectual paralysis that dominates contemporary radical thought.
