{"product_id":"the-dawn-of-everything","title":"The Dawn of Everything","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dawn of Everything is a new history of humanity by David Graeber and David Wengrow. The book argues that familiar stories about early people, pictured as simple and childlike, and either peaceful or brutal, are mistaken. The authors say these ideas first appeared in the eighteenth century, as a reaction to indigenous criticism of European society. Using findings from archaeology and anthropology, they look again at how farming, property, cities, democracy and slavery began. They argue that the human past was more open and more inventive than most people assume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy You Should Read?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover why the authors think popular ideas about primitive ancestors answered indigenous criticism of European society.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplore the book's question of what people were doing if small hunter-gatherer bands did not fill most of our past.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn what kinds of social and economic organization the authors say farming and cities could have led to.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImagine new forms of freedom and new ways to organize society, guided by the book's fresh view of history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Graeber\u003c\/strong\u003e taught anthropology as a professor at the London School of Economics.
