邦訳：2025年4月・岩波書店New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2023. The book playfully dismantles the central myths of the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment did not begin in Europe, but on the island of Madagascar in the late seventeenth century, argues anthropologist David Graeber. The Golden Age of Piracy was also a brief window of radical democracy, as the pirate settlers attempted to apply the egalitarian principles of their ships to a new society on land.
