Excellent interview…. David Graeber is a great get…
His takes on debt and money are very enlightening… and I think the people are finally ready for them too…
no way you can handle him in 30 mins though dude… even 45 was barely enough to give his work justice…
and btw, since you asked… allow me direct you to “nowhere.com”…
