American anarchist anthropologist who wrote Debt: The First 5,000 Years — a radical reinterpretation of the history of money and credit — and was an organizer of Occupy Wall Street.
Debt: The First 5,000 Years: challenging the myth that money evolved from barter — credit preceded money; debt has been the central moral and political fact of human societies. Bullshit Jobs: a large proportion of modern jobs are meaningless — workers know it and are demoralized by it. The Dawn of Everything (with David Wengrow): prehistoric human societies were more politically diverse and experimental than we assume.
