David Graeber’s death cause is unknown yet

However, Graeber posted on Twitter in August that he had “been sick for a month.” He maintained that the illness caused him “weird soapy taste in my mouth, exhaustion, stomach [and] lung-ache.”

Graeber was a professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics. The book “The Dawn of Everything: a New History of Humanity” writing with David Wengrove, will be his one last work.

“He was one of the greatest thinkers of our time and a phenomenal writer.” The historian Rutger Bregman said.

He came to the spotlight as a left-wing activist throughout the Occupy movement in 2011 and is attributed to issuing the term “We are the 99 percent.”

“I did first suggest that we call ourselves the 99%. Then two Spanish indignados and a Greek anarchist added the ‘we’ and later a food-not-bombs veteran put the ‘are’ between them. And they say you can’t create something worthwhile by committee! I’d include their names, but considering the way police intelligence has been coming after early OWS organizers, maybe it would be better not to,” David wrote.
