CHALMERS JOHNSON taught for thirty years, 1962-1992, at the Berkeley and San Diego campuses of the University of California and held endowed chairs in Asian politics at both. At Berkeley he was chairman of the Center for Chinese Studies and of the Department of Political Science. His B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in economics and political science are all from the University of California, Berkeley. From 1968 until 1972 he served as a consultant to the Office of National Estimates of the Central Intelligence Agency. His most recent books are Blowback: The Costs and Consequences of American Empire and The Sorrows of Empire: Militarism, Secrecy, and the End of the Republic.

David Graeber is an anarchist and anthropologist. He is an associate professor of anthropology at Yale University, although Yale has controversially declined to rehire him, and his term there will end in June 2007. He is the author of Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology and Towards an Anthropological Theory of Value: The False Coin of Our Own Dreams. As of January 2007, he is preparing four books for future publication. Two, Possibilities: A Book of Essays, and Direct Action: An Ethnography, are already written and in process of review by AK Press; two more (one, a history of the concept of debt; the other, an attempt to outline an anarchist version of world-systems analysis) are works still in progress.

also in the January issue of Harper's Magazine, David wrote an article entitled:
Army of Altruists, On the alienated right to do good.
