I can't speak on the China stuff, but the initial comments about the origins of money are quoting from David Graeber's work without saying so. That's all true, though Cory is giving a bit of an oversimplified version.
- germinalphrase 6y agoFrom “Debt: The First 5,000 Years”, presumably?
- jasonwatkinspdx 6y agoYes. He's mentioning things in essentially the same terms and narrative order as the book.
- QuesnayJr 6y agoNo, he's quoting Modern Monetary Theory. The state theory of money is not due to Graeber -- it goes back to the 19th century.
- jasonwatkinspdx 6y agoNo, he is very much directly referencing Graeber in the same terms and narrative order as the book.
