Profile: David Graeber

David Graeber is one of the most popular radical leftists alive today.  Through his incredibly popular work Debt:  The First 5000 Years and his fundamental role in organizing the Occupy Wall Street movement, Graeber has become a leading voice for libertarian socialist thought.  He teaches at the London School of Economics.
The reason that economic textbooks now begin with imaginary villages is because it has been impossible to talk about real ones. Even some economists have been forced to admit that Smith's Land of Barter doesn't really exist.
The question is why the myth is perpetuated anyway. -- David Graeber, Debt:  The First 5000 Years
