Salvage and Haymarket Books host a conversation on what we can learn about politics, capitalism, and resistance from the late David Graeber.\n\nThe anarchist theorist and anthropologist David Graeber died last year\u2014far too young\u2014and produced an outpouring of grief across the global Left. Occurring as it did, during the last quarter of a long, bleak year, with few prospects of dramatic improvements ahead, the loss of Graeber\u2019s optimism not only of the will, but of the intellect, was felt as a body blow.\n\nBuilding on James Meadway\u2019s article in Salvage #9, Annie Olaloku-Teriba and Barnaby Raine will host a conversation between James and Hannah Appel\u2014David Graeber\u2019s friend and collaborator\u2014on the lessons offered to the Left by Graeber\u2019s life and thought.\nThis will be the first in the new ongoing Salvage Live events series, hosted by Haymarket Books.\n----------------------------------------------------\n\nRead James Meadway's article here: https://salvage.zone/articles/acting-as-if-one-is-already-free-david-graebers-political-economy-and-the-strategic-impasse-of-the-left/\n\nFor more from Salvage: https://salvage.zone/\n\nSpeakers: \n\nJames Meadway is an economist and former economic advisor to Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell.
