The anthropologist in an economist world
https://alteredstatesof.money/david-graeber-economic-anthropology/
Modern capitalist rituals, like the staged panel discussions at the World Economic Forum, where hedge fund managers discuss whether pursuing self-interest enables altruism through philanthropy, would be absurd to anyone with a basic understanding that survival is not an individual endevour.
David versus the Econ Goliath
At its worst, then, mainstream economics has had a very bad habit of taking a historically specific economic system – based around capitalist monetary exchange and unleashed by large-scale states – and generically labelling it as ‘Economics’, and then universalising it and projecting it backwards in time into situations where it never existed. (As an analogy, imagine a music professor claiming that classical music is the only form of music, and then proceeding to use Western classical music notation and scales to transcribe Indian ragas).
This colonising tendency has generated attrocious theories like the barter theory on the origins of money, in which a post-money mentality is projected into a pre-money world and then used to argue for why money must come into origin. That’s a big topic I can cover in another piece, but David was famous for dismantling this intellectual abomination in his book Debt: The First 5000 Years.

Universal Basic Income . Elite Neo Liberals just not getting it!
UBI, #JohnMcDonnel and #DrGuyStanding , Close but no cigar, What about Money what is Distributism?
very disappointing in the failure to consider let alone include monetary creation dynamics, focusing on Taxation is a mistake as it ignores debt and usury which is the driving force behind the wealth syphon but also the Growth Paradigm the report is also deluded in its lip service to the Alleged Climate Crisis, the heading of that section is ” Extinction” All in all #TheWrongKindofGreen both in an environmental but also monetary sense, Links in the Twitter thread which links to the full report. Worth reading this is a start albeit a flawed one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aadhaar
Aadhaar (English: foundation or base) is a 12-digit unique identity number that can be obtained voluntarily by the citizens of India and resident foreign nationals who have spent over 182 days in twelve months immediately preceding the date of application for enrolment, based on their biometric and demographic data. The data is collected by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), a statutory authority established in January 2009 by the Government of India, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, following the provisions of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016.[1]
Synopsis
The film revolves around Pharsua, resident of village of Jamua, and his aadhaar (resident identification) card ID, issued by the Indian government. Villagers are suspicious that the government will collect their information and monitor them, so they show no interest in the new ID card despite the benefits that accrue to ID cardholders. Pharsua volunteers and he becomes the first person in the village to receive the new aadhaar card and is a star. But one day, the village priest predicts that the serial number on his ID card will soon cause the death of his wife, and Pharsua starts on a journey to save his wife. Now getting his ID number changed is of utmost importance to him, but it becomes an inviolable and unchangeable absolute number since it has been entered into the system. Pharsua wails about the unfairness of his ID number, but no one outside of his village listens to his pleas.[7]
