    Insofar as the Occupy Wall Street movement had any kind of coherent ideology, Graeber's work was what defined it. Debt: The First 5,000 Years and, more recently, On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs are seminal works for understanding modern political economy.

    Absolutely gutted to learn this. Graeber looms very large in my life. Debt: The First 5,000 Years changed my life, changed who I am as a person by changing my outlook on a lot of things. Such a sadness, I think this is probably the second time in my life where the death of a "celebrity" actually affected my mood a bit. Tough to take.

    Edit: added the letter "d" to a word
