One of those at the forefront of the Occupy Wall Street activity beginning this past autumn was eminent University of London anthropologist David Graeber. His writing has long had sway and influence in academic and political circles—that has changed dramatically with Occupy Wall Street and with publication of his paradigm-defining book, Debt: The First 5,000 Years (Melville House). "Fresh ... fascinating ... Graeber's book is not just thought-provoking, but also exceedingly timely. His sweeping narrative history essentially argues that many of our existing ideas about money and credit are limited, if not wrong." – Gillian Tett, The Financial Times. "Terrific ... in the best anthropological tradition, Graeber helps us reset our everyday ideas by exploring history and other civilizations, then boomeranging back to render our own world strange, and more open to change." – Raj Patel. "A brilliant, deeply original political thinker." – Rebecca Solnit.
