Description

Capitalism as we know it appears to be coming apart. The financial institutions that underpin it are staggering and crumbling, and with them, the idea of perpetual growth on a finite planet. This raises a fundamental question: what comes next? David Graeber explores a wide range of topics in this collection of essays, from political strategy to aesthetics, and from debt to creativity. Written in the aftermath of the anti-globalization movement and the war on terror, these essays seek to find hope in unexpected places. Graeber argues that the old assumptions about politics and power have been irrefutably broken, and that it's time to start anew. By drawing on politics, art, and imagination, Graeber sets out to create a new language and common sense about what people are and what they can expect from the world. This book is an invitation to join the conversation and to consider the possibilities of a new way forward.
