"I spent a few hours today looking for and reading a lot of recent comments on Graeber's death. In the process, I stumbled across some other material, some of which I'll link to also."

The Wikipedia article on Graeber is being rapidly expanded and updated because of his death. It lists all his books and articles, as well as three forthcoming books, and has a bunch of other good references.

A good farewell was published by his friend and collaborator Andrej Grubacic, who also included the last article Graeber wrote, a commentary on Kropotkin's Mutual Aid, published on Truthout.

Common Dreams published an article by Richard Eskow, which also includes links to interviews of Graeber by Eskow for his show Zero Hour.

Joshua Frank, an editor at Counterpunch, published a piece revisiting Graeber's wrongful termination from Yale.

Jacobin magazine has an article by Benjamin Balthaser, A Jewish Goodbye

Matthew Zeitlin, "How David Graeber Changed the Way We See Money," at:

Jerome Roos, the editor of Roar Magazine, published a farewell in the New Statesman,

Kevin Carson, from the Center for a Stateless Society, wrote: "In Memoriam: David Graeber, 1961-2020", reposted on anarchistnews.org

I checked several other anarchist sites, but they haven't published anything yet: infoshop, anarchism, it's going down, anarchist writers, libcom

In the process of doing this I came across several other interesting things:

(1)  Graeber's article, "Against Economics," evidently created a huge stir. Published in the New York Review of Books:

(2)  A long critique of Graeber's book on Debt by Aufheben. I like this journal, but they are hard to slot, which is a good thing. They are not orthodox Marxists. And certainly not anarchists. But they have a strong class and materialist orientation.

(3)  An article by Camilla Power taking issue with Graeber & Wengrow's essay on "how to change the course of human history," which apparently was an early excerpt of the forthcoming book. On Libcom. Issue: gender egalitarianism:

(4)  One of Graeber's academic articles. I'm sure there are a lot more of them online.
"Turning Modes of Production Inside Out: Or Why Capitalism is a Transformation of Slavery"
