David Graeber's influential thinking was always at odds with the liberal and left-wing mainstream. Drawing on his huge theoretical and practical experience as an ethnologist and anthropologist, activist and anarchist, Graeber and his interlocutors develop a ramified genealogy of anarchist thought and possible perspectives for 21st-century politics. Diverging from the familiar lines of historical anarchism, and against the background of movements such as Occupy Wall Street and the Gilets jaunes, the aim is to provide new political impulses that go beyond the usual schemata of unavoidableness. The spontaneous and swift-moving polylogue shows Graeber as a spirited, unorthodox thinker and radical activist for whom the group can always achieve more than the individual.

David Graeber (1961-2020) war Ethnologe, Anarchist, politischer Aktivist, Autor zahlreicher Bücher und Vordenker der Occupy-Bewegung. Bis 2007 lehrte David Graeber Ethnologie an der Yale University, später am Goldsmiths College der University of London und zuletzt an der London School of Economics.
