Yeah, a sarcastic comment totally lacking in substance that's a cut and paste of something that's been bouncing around the libertarian internets totally deserves upvotes.
For context: Graeber got into a spat with some dude at the Mises Institute, which kicked up a hornets nest of people who never read the book to go nuclear on it, posting nasty reviews on Amazon etc.
SilasX, have you read the book? If not, why are you commenting on it?
- SilasX 14y agoI've read summaries of the critical arguments and their critiques. I can't honestly be expected to ready every single page before identifying what I find to be errors in it. We need to get over ourselves -- the Kolmogorov complexity of the substantive points Graeber brings to the discussion with his book is certainly less than the amount of text contained in 1000+ pages. Do you want to tackle the problem of why the "temple units" happened to be silver? Also, even if my post was genuinely deserving of a downvote, I hope you recognize that you should leave that job to someone else, as you have too much invested in this topic to be objective (as does anyone replying in a similar position).
