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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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 Dubrovksy and with a foreword by Rebecca Solnit, make for essential and inspiring reading. They are a profound reminder of Graeber's enduring significance as an iconic, playful, necessary thinker.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46729816965278,"sku":"UBD-9781802061604","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781802061604.jpg?v=1776650450","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781802061604","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
