841davidgraeber

We have these incredible, pervasive mechanisms that insert bureaucracy into every aspect of our lives, and those bureaucracies themselves become the primary way that money is extracted and profits are made.

Anthropologist David Graeber explores the bureaucratic dimension that rules our lives, takes our money, and stretches between the public and private, the right and the left, between capitalism and whatever comes next.

David’s new book is The Utopia of Rules: On Technology, Stupidity, and the Secret Joys of Bureaucracy.
