Publisher's Synopsis
Described as the best anthropological theorist of his generation from anywhere in the world', David Graeber here applies anthropological theory to capitalism and its opponents. His analysis uses case studies from such diverse communities as rural Madagascans, pre-capitalist economies and urban international protest groups to tease out the truth about the state we're in. Themes addressed include Fetishism, Magic, Consumption and the Possibility of a General Sociological Theory.'
