Toward a Fair Future Economy

18 May 2015

David Graeber is an anthropologist, a leading figure in the Occupy movement and author of the book, Debt: The First Five Thousand Years. He addresses the current age of ‘total bureaucratization’, rife with rules and regulations, in which public and private power has gradually fused into a single entity whose ultimate purpose is the extraction of wealth in the form of profits. Graeber considers what it would take, in terms of intellectual clarity, political will and imaginative power to conceive and build a flourishing and fair future economy, which would maximise the scope for individual and collective creativity and be sustainable and just.
