David Rolfe Graeber (/ˈɡreɪbər/; February 12, 1961 – September 2, 2020) was an American anthropologist and anarchist activist. His influential work in economic anthropology, particularly his books Debt: The First 5,000 Years (2011), Bullshit Jobs (2018), and The Dawn of Everything (2021), and his leading role in the Occupy movement, earned him recognition as one of the foremost anthropologists and left-wing thinkers of his time.

      Classical economics? Sociology? Psychology? If you think humans are primarily motivated by altruism please explain the West’s rightward shift.

          First that’s just incorrect. People have been motivated by compensation for longer than neoliberalism has existed (1930s )

          Second you don’t need to mention capitalism if ypu mention neoliberalism as Liberalism is always capitalist

          Third woth two words you proved you know very little about economics and political philosophy as your reply makes zero sense. Last I checked both intro courses were still free online from MIT. You should look into them so you can at least learn what neoliberalism is
