{"product_id":"the-ultimate-hidden-truth-of-the-world-2","title":"Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World","description":"\u003cp\u003e'The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently,' wrote David Graeber, as well-known for his sharp, lively essays as he was for his iconic role in the Occupy movement and his paradigm-shifting tomes.There are converging political, economic, and ecological crises, and yet our politics is dominated by either business as usual or nostalgia for a mythical past. Thinking against the grain, Graeber was one of the few who dared to imagine a new understanding of the past and a liberatory vision of the future ― to imagine a social order based on humans’ fundamental freedom. In essays published over three decades and ranging across the biggest issues of our time ― inequality, technology, the identity of 'the West,' democracy, art, power, anger, mutual aid, and protest ― he challenges the old assumptions about political life. A trenchant critic of the order of things, and driven by a bold imagination and a passionate commitment to human freedom, he offers hope that our world can be different.During a moment of daunting upheaval and pervasive despair, the incisive, entertaining, and urgent essays collected in The Ultimate Hidden Truth of the World . . . , edited and with an introduction by Nika Dubrovksy and with a foreword by Rebecca Solnit, make for essential and inspiring reading. They are a profound reminder of Graeber’s enduring significance as an iconic, playful, necessary thinker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dusky's Shrine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46037012021305,"sku":"9781802061604","price":629.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/3367\/0457\/files\/71Xdwy7420L._SL1500.jpg?v=1782818504","url":"https:\/\/duskysshrine.com\/products\/the-ultimate-hidden-truth-of-the-world-2","provider":"Dusky's Shrine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
