S2E57 | The Radical Imagination: David Graeber's Legacy
from Learn English by Listening · host trkenankement
I find myself returning to David Graeber's ideas with increasing frequency these days, as though some invisible current keeps pulling me back to his works. Perhaps it is because, in times of uncertainty, we seek thinkers who can help us make sense of the seemingly nonsensical aspects of our world. Graeber possessed that rare ability to unveil the peculiar assumptions underlying our social institutions – assumptions so deeply embedded in our collective consciousness that we scarcely notice them until someone points them out with the clarity and wit that was his signature style.
