“Whatever Graeber is writing about, however recondite his research, whether it is the history of democracy or the relationship between slavery and debt, he is usually trying to solve a problem in the present or to expose its latent potential.”

Pointing out some sloppiness, Seymore concedes that there is always a tension between innovation and rigour, and Graeber was nothing if not inventive.
