In “The Dawn of Everything,” the anthropologist David Graeber and the archaeologist David Wengrow aim to rewrite the story of our shared past — and future. Graeber’s on the front page of the New York Times. Too bad he didn’t live to see it.

I like the book for the interesting stories of the various political formations of non-state societies, not necessarily for its vague, muddled, and arguably wrong conclusions. This review primarily discusses those conclusions.
