The Dawn of Everything by Graeber and Wengrow em One Book One Thread (Setembro 2023)

Críticas

This book contains a lot of good ideas but at the same time, the author assumes and suggests a lot of things that are backed by nothing other than "feelings" and testimonials of random people.

A fascinating review of the role of debt in creating the society that we currently live in. Through storytelling Graeber makes complex economic themes memorable and comprehensible to non-economists.

A kind of analytical review of the history of bureaucracy. Thie author illustrates how systems emerge and self sustain around rules that many times make little sense and have side effects. While on the other hand societies respond to rules in contradictory ways, even mantaining opposite behaviour to the rules they want to drive forward.

This sprawling book is hard to describe because it is a sprawling book covering spans of time from pre-Ice Ages to the 20th century, and cultures found all over the world. I found it fascinating to read/listen to. But I also found it a little frustrating that, by the end of it, I could not easily summarize their conclusions. And I think the authors are okay with this because they knew they were tackling a big, big intellectual puzzle.
So if you have the time to invest, I would suggest you give it a go.… (mais)
