Hats off for sharing this book and the friendly academic warning. Although to be candid, I have only recently have been exposed to some of the stuff by David Graeber, mostly from the few 50 minute Against the Grain Podcasts. Hence,I think I will be needing more time studying some of his writings before making any comments on the fruitfulness of his pose and style. And yes I took the last quote you provided extremely serious. As he says in full: "...At the very least, one would imagine being an openly anarchist professor would mean challenging the way universities are run - and I don't mean by demanding an anarchist studies department, either -- and that of course, is going to get one on far more trouble than anything one could ever write." (Graeber 7)  

Do they have a Burlington Coat Factory in your town?I highly recommend some of the Kani Gold brands for men's clothes they usually have on sale there. There was a time I used to spend $40 dollars per item at the mall and later realized that my adjunct income was not cutting it anymore.

I recommend Burlington Coat factory!

I read an article on that which might interest you.

Thanks for sharing that article. Are you trying to achieve a self-fulfilling prophecy in your own thesis?  Unless I completely misunderstood you, I think what you're trying to look for is how individuals (such as the blind dude you described) and their prior contradictory attitudes on greed  likely explains how people "self select" into economics programs or similar majors. I would follow your thesis, if you had more supportive empirical evidence - like some sort of greed survey or did some sort of group experiment/participant observation on students who wanted to become potential business or economic majors. I would be happy to be your co-author if you decide to go forward with this.

Everything that you discussed in your reply has merit. I may need some future help with framing my SOP so I don't sound like some uneducated anarchist trying to avoid doing any research!!!

Howdy friends:
I recently had a chance to listen to a podcast from Against the Grain that featured a Canadian named Max Haiven which really got me thinking about radicalizing some of my own ideas a little bit more. I know that this might sound strange but I think that subjects like gender and race don't seem to interest me as much as the anarchist political stuff (Ex: Occupy Sandy). Likewise, there is so much political stuff that anarchists do that resonates in the fields of squatting and alternative eco communities that might make sociology actually more radical and useful to the lay-public. What do you yall think? Could sociology mix with anarchism studies on the side?.Would it be embraced by sociology institutions or face rejection and even censorship?

When I first started teaching undergraduate classes I only gave 4 tests which determined the entire grade for the class. This was problematic for me because I had a number of outstanding students in the class who always participated in the lectures/discussions but sometimes did much worse on exams than the ones who showed up only on exam days. Hence, a few years ago I modified my grading method to 3 tests (with study guides), 1 major research paper (about 5-6 pages in length) , 4 group projects.
