yeah it is interesting. Don't know much about David Graeber, except what I've read from people making fun of him on @news.

Not so sure that what he wrote concerning the motives of the Chinese is accurate, though.

Graeber struck me as tepid at best in that interview. I've seen much better stuff from him in the past. I don't know if he was tailoring himself to a mainstream corporate outlet, or if they trimmed what he had to say into the conventional paradigms.
