First “all models are flawed but that does not mean that they are worthless”
To be clear Graeber is an anthropologist and is not an economist. You might like what he says but his degree is in a different field
Cristobal Young is a sociologist again not an economist. You might like what they say that does not mean it has any merit economically speaking (I haven’t looked into any published work)
Blyth actually has a degree and background in political economics. Political economists are mixed bags as they tend to not be able to do the math to support their claims. As is the case with all social science the important part is to see if their claims were published in academic journals first. Blyth is ok not great IMO
