« Le débat public occulte largement le désir d’un changement profond dans le fonctionnement de l’économie » #graeber #économie #décroissance #politique
@pisipapi_ btw that #quote is from The Dawn Of Everything by #Graeber and Wengrow, I think paraphrasing another philosopher
Whoo, finally finished Graeber's "Debt"! Great book, very eye-opening.
It wasn't exactly a *quick* read though, at least for me - could have a zillion reasons including my own inferiority, but I do wonder whether something like a short version might increase the impact of the ideas.

"#DavidGraeber was the #anthropologist who re-framed economics by showing that its most basic assumptions were myths.
Where conventional economists traced money to barter and exchange, #Graeber traced it to trust and relationships. He argued that the origins of money lay not in #markets but in […]

#Wengrow/ #Graeber on pre-Columbian cultures. I think the Tlaxcalans knew the score–

Laut Graeber ist es eine Frage des Mutes, sich an die einfachen Grundsätze des allgemeinen Anstands (Würde, Respekt, Gewaltfreiheit, Empathie) zu halten.

Yes. Sin, Debt, Redemption, and Forgiveness were all invented by the Babylonians at the same time as the system of universal enslavement. It was standard to guarantee a loan with a wife or daughter, even when it was just a formality. Hence the Com against Coveting. About predatory loans. #Graeber

**Alt Text:** Two men in dark jackets sit facing each other at a table in a library setting. Tall bookshelves fill the background. Water bottles sit between them. Both appear engaged in serious conversation during what looks like a formal debate or discussion. **Caption:** This image captures an intellectual debate between economist David Graeber and entrepreneur Peter Thiel, hosted by The Baffler. The academic library setting reflects the scholarly nature of their discussion about technological progress and societal futures. The formal yet intimate arrangement emphasizes the gravity of their philosophical exchange about where innovation and human advancement are heading in the modern era.
I sometimes can't help but think Graeber might have accidentally schooled Thiel on how to be a supervillian.
Regardless, give this a watch when you have time.

@andrewsage.bsky.social always seems to know what's on my mind before I do anything about it, makes videos way better than any I could, and thus provides an amazing public education service. #debt #jubilee #graeber #andrewism
Wat ik over jullie witte mensen weet is dat jullie denken dat wij voor jullie werken.
Maar waarom?
Jullie nemen meer dan je ervoor teruggeeft.
Zambia blijft hetzelfde. Ons koper verdwijnt, maar waarom?
Deze mijnwerker begrijpt de wereldeconomie.
Doet me de denken aan deze quote van #Graeber:
Wie gedwongen is te werken voor mensen met macht begrijpt hun wereld beter dan zij zelf.

Might have more to say later, but this debate between Peter Thiel and David Graeber is illustrative of some of the core logics at play today.
