I think that is the misinterpretation. Graeber and Sahlins' work seems to me to be interpreting things from outside a left/right capitalist/communist framework entirely, at least as much as possible, considering how much we have been trained to think within those frameworks.
- simonh 5y agoThat's fair enough, but I think the same criticisms I have of Marxist theories of value also apply to Graeber.
