The final posthumous work by the coauthor of the major New York Times bestseller The Dawn of Everything.

A fascinating inquiry, which leads us to rethink the nature of human capacities, as well as the proudest moments of our own history, and our interactions with and indebtedness to the cultures and forgotten intellectuals of indigenous societies. Challenging and illuminating. -- Noam Chomsky

David’s magnum opus is a book that eludes simple summaries.

It is primarily a story about money and the way material issues have always been underlain by moral considerations.

These essays present a series of inspiring examples of how to conduct research for radical politics both inside and outside the university. --Michael Hardt, Duke University
