The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World

David Graeber has always been an inspiration to me. Reading him fills me with both hope and joy… The tools he has shared to help all of us deconstruct the current reality we inhabit are invaluable. The more people that we can reach the more chance of a reimagined world is possible * Clive Lewis MP *Ambitious and erudite essays… An ideal entry point to new readers… for those returning to his ideas, the pleasure is in the writing, filled as it is with historical heft, global prescience, and a vast breadth of reference by the seemingly omniscient author… Graeber’s essays remain intense flares of thought lighting a path towards something better than “the best of all possible worlds”, which is a place where we all too readily resign ourselves – NJ McGarrigle * Irish Times *
