A renowned anthropologist, activist, and author of such classic books as \u003ci\u003eDebt\u003c\/i\u003e and the breakout \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Dawn of Everything \u003c\/i\u003e(with David Wengrow), Graeber was as well-known for his sharp, lively essays as he was for his iconic role in the Occupy movement and his paradigm-shifting tomes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere are converging political, economic, and ecological crises, and yet our politics is dominated by either business as usual or nostalgia for a mythical past. Thinking against the grain, Graeber was one of the few who dared to imagine a new understanding of the past and a liberatory vision of the future--to imagine a social order based on humans' fundamental freedom. In essays published over three decades and ranging across the biggest issues of our time-- inequality, technology, the identity of \"the West,\" democracy, art, power, anger, mutual aid, and protest--he challenges the old assumptions about political life. A trenchant critic of the order of things, and driven by a bold imagination and a passionate commitment to human freedom, he offers hope that our world can be different. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring a moment of daunting upheaval and pervasive despair, the incisive, entertaining, and urgent essays collected in \u003ci\u003eThe Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World . . .\u003c\/i\u003e, edited and with an introduction by Nika Dubrovsky and with a foreword by Rebecca Solnit, make for essential and inspiring reading.
