\n David Graeber, who helped organize the Occupy Wall Street movement, has died in Venice, his agent said. He was 59.<\/p>\n

A professor of anthropology at the London School of Economics, Graeber studied anarchism and anti-capitalist movements, and challenged the world to respond to the plight of Kurds in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid was a hugely influential anthropologist, political activist and public intellectual,\u2033 said Professor Laura Bear, head of the anthropology department at LSE. \u201cOur community of staff and students will not be the same now he is gone, but we know his brilliant work will be read by generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born in New York, Graeber inherited his activism from his parents. His father was a printer in the days of offset presses and fought with the International Brigades against Gen. Francisco Franco\u2019s forces in the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War. His mother was a garment worker and homemaker who played the female lead in the 1930s musical \u201cPins & Needles,\u2019\u2019 which celebrated the American labor movement.<\/p>\n

But he was also a \u201ctrue intellectual\u201d whose work was influenced by many thinkers, activists and artists, his agent, Melissa Flashman, said Thursday when she confirmed his death. His wife, Nika Dubrovsky, tweeted that he died Wednesday. She didn\u2019t offer a cause.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have truly lost a great mind and generous soul,\u201d Flashman said.<\/p>\n

Graeber said on his website that he became an archaeologist after developing an odd hobby \u2014 translating Mayan hieroglyphics \u2014 as a young man. He received a scholarship to attend the elite prep school Phillips Academy at Andover. He went on to the State University of New York at Purchase before earning his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.<\/p>\n

After a series<\/a> of academic jobs he ended up at Yale University. But the school in New Haven, Connecticut, let him go in a controversial move, with critics accusing Yale of letting its politics get in the way of its academic judgment.<\/p>\n

Graeber moved on to Goldsmiths, University of London and finally the London School of Economics.<\/p>\n

He is best known for his role in the Occupy Wall Street movement, a grassroots response to the 2008 financial crisis that sought to highlight how the richest 1 percent of the population dominated the US economy.<\/p>\n

Graeber said he didn\u2019t personally come up with the movement\u2019s slogan \u201cWe are the 99%,\u201d but he did contribute to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did first suggest that we call ourselves `the 99%,\u201d\u2019 he said. \u201cThen two Spanish indignados and a Greek anarchist added the `we\u2019 and later a food-not-bombs veteran put the `are\u2019 between them. And they say you can\u2019t create something worthwhile by committee!\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
