Synopsis "The Democracy Project: A History, a Crisis, a Movement"

From their earliest meetings, activist David Graeber knew that the Occupy Wall Street movement was something different. From small beginnings its demonstrations spread across the world to cities like Cairo, Athens, Barcelona and London and gave a glimpse of a new way. This provocative look at the actions of the 99% asks: why was it so effective? What went right? And what can we all do now to make our world democratic once again? Both a treatise on power and protest and an energetic account of contemporary events, The Democracy Project will change the way you think about politics, and the world.

David Graeber (1961-2020) was an American anthropologist, writer, and activist, known for his studies on anarchism, economics, and political anthropology. He was a professor at the London School of Economics and a key figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement. His works have influenced debates on labor, debt, and social organization, establishing him as a critical thinker of capitalism and power structures.

Among his most notable books are Debt: The First 5000 Years (2011), where he examines the history of debt as an economic and social institution, Bullshit Jobs (2018), a critique of the uselessness of certain modern jobs, and The Dawn of Everything (2021), co-written with David Wengrow, which rethinks the history of humanity from an anthropological perspective.
