    David Graeber
    Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World

    2025 | Nakladatelství The Book Service Ltd (Penguin)

    Drawn from more than two decades of pathbreaking writing, the iconic and bestselling David Graeber's most important essays and interviews.'David Graeber has always been an inspiration to me. Reading him fills me with both hope and joy... The tools he has shared to help all of us deconstruct the current reality we inhab…it are invaluable. The more people that we can reach the more chance of a reimagined world is possible'- Clive Lewis MP 'The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently,' wrote David Graeber. This new collection brings together the renowned anthropologist, author and activist's most visionary essays, showing him imagining a new understanding of the past - and a future based on humans' fundamental freedom. Drawn from more than two decades of pathbreaking writing, and ranging across the biggest issues of our time - inequality, technology, the identity of 'the West,' democracy, art, power, anger, mutual aid and protest - Graeber's essays challenge the old assumptions about political life. Despite converging political, economic, and ecological crises, our politics is still dominated by either 'business as usual' or nostalgia for a mythical past. Instead, Graeber shows himself to be a trenchant critic of the order of things, driven by a bold imagination and a passionate hope that our world can be different.The incisive, entertaining and urgent essays collected in The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World make for essential reading. They are a profound reminder of Graeber's enduring significance as an inspiring and necessary thinker.

    O autorovi

    David Graeber

    David Graeber

    David Rolfe Graeber byl americký antropolog a anarchistický aktivista, profesor antropologie na London School of Economics.. Známé jsou jeho knihy Dluh. Prvních 5000 let , Bullshit Jobs: A Theory a široce sdílený esej Práce na hovno z roku 2013. Narodil se do politicky aktivní židovské rodiny. Antropologii studoval v New Yorku a Chicagu, dva roky se věnoval antropologickému výzkumu na Madagaskaru. Jako odborný asistent a docent antropologie na Yaleově univerzitě se specializoval v letech 1998–2007 na teorii hodnoty a sociální teorii. Univerzitní rozhodnutí neprodloužit jeho pozici, když byl způsobilý pro další funkční období, vyvolalo akademickou kontroverzi. Následně se mezi lety 2007–2013 věnoval sociální antropologii na londýnské univerzitě Goldsmiths. Graeberův aktivismus zahrnoval protesty proti Světovému ekonomickému fóru. Patřil ke klíčovým postavám hnutí Occupy Wall Street a pravděpodobně je autorem známého sloganu „We are the 99 %“.
