David Graeber has been one of the most urgent thinkers of the possibility of utopia right now – our immediate capacity to make the world different and better, together. Join us for a two-week introduction to his work. Together we’ll read and discuss several short articles that served as starting points for his important longer works on debt, bullshit jobs, democracy, and the entire history of humanity. And we’ll get excited about how we might re-make the world!
