I can't recommend a book any higher than 'The Democracy Project'

I cannot recommend a book any higher than 'The Democracy Project' by David Graeber. The term "the 99 percent" was coined as a result of his answer to someone's query, Who's the Occupy movement for? An exerpt: "No longer are we hearing demands for workplace democracy, or dignity in labor, or even economic justice. Under this newly feudalized form of capitalism, the downtrodden are reduced to the situation of medieval peasants, asking for nothing more than making their own lives." Written in 2015, it's exactly the right book what we're living now. Best $5 I've spent in ages.
