Pirate Enlightenment by David Graeber

This book’s full title is Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia. I found entertaining but quite confusing. I did not really learn anything about Madagascar or Pirates. The author sort of jumps all over the place, but he also told some interesting stories. I did find it hard to see how the stories all sort of fitted together. On the other hand, I read the book to the end because the stories were interesting.

Fara Dabhoiwala on The Guardian does a review of this book. There is a site for David Graeber with a review of this book by Lena Tama. There is another review of this book on the site for David Graeber by Annelie Hyatt. Edward Carver on Los Angeles Review of Books another interesting review of this book. This author says that Graeber wrote with joy and playful irreverence. I can agree with that.

Since this book was published posthumously, there is no videos of David Graeber talking about this book. The only videos were reviews and discussions about this book, but I got enough reviews and I did not find any video particularly interesting.

An index of the books I have reviewed are on my website at Books. I have three blogs. The first talks only about specific stocks and is called Investment Talk . The second one contains information on mostly investing and is called Investing Economics Mostly. My last blog is for my book reviews and it is called Non-Fiction Mostly. Follow me on Twitter.
