전기 및 작가의 여정
David Graeber was an American anthropologist, essayist, and public intellectual whose writing joined academic depth to unusually broad public reach. Born in New York City in 1961, he grew up in a politically engaged, working-class family, an upbringing that helped shape both his skepticism toward hierarchy and his lifelong interest in ordinary people’s moral and social worlds. He studied at the State University of New York at Purchase and later earned advanced degrees in anthropology at the University of Chicago. His fieldwork in Madagascar became an early intellectual foundation, sharpening his attention to value, obligation, and the ways communities organize life beyond formal state or market models.
