Debt the first 5000 years is one of my favorite books. Graeber will be missed. He was so insightful.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

Graeber is basically "must read" as far as i'm concerned; for anarchists and would-be anarchists, i'd say a comparable figure is Peter Gelderloos.
