    Ok.

    I encourage you to read Animal Farm, it’s probably a lot less boring than this Graeber guy.

      Orwell wrote a critique of modern society, soviet Stalinist society in particular, in animal farm. It’s not an anthropology book, it’s political satire that came from a socialist (!). I am not sure your induction that it applies to all humans under every circumstance was therefore intended by the author (lord of the flies might be a much better example in this case).

      Graeber is actually far for boring, and as an anthropologist his writing tend to be a bit more general.

      Either way, of course I’ve read Animal Farm.

      Assuming someone hasn’t read already Animal Farm is like assuming they haven’t ever read a book.
