We don’t “insist” on structuring labour this way, it’s what arose as efficient from a market of voluntary private actors. Very “anarchist” in that sense. I would hope that Graeber is familiar with basic texts like Theory of the Firm.

> arose as efficient

Capitalism does not drive towards 'efficiency' in some general sense. It is full of dead weight, destruction, forced scarcity, waste, and bloat. This is not accidental, it is essential to how the system functions.
