I know it's long, but I think you can get better insights out of Adam Smith's approach to money from Gavin Kennedy. Adam Smith can still provide insight, if you read the Wealth of Nations completely and interpet it properly.Blue Auroranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-66580032002929594232012-04-12T09:32:16.357-07:002012-04-12T09:32:16.357-07:00Unlearningecon@Apr 12, 2012 07:48 AM

Even assuming that the Mengerian or Smithian fables about the origin of money are wholly inaccurate (still a BIG if), if money magically disappeared tomorrow, you can bet your last dollar (zing!) that some money substitute would spring up from the market, and the snowballing process favoring certain commodities for use as money would occur (as it did with cigarettes in POW camps, and mackerel packets in today's US prisons).Robert Dineronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-89955297433599268152012-04-12T07:54:33.011-07:002012-04-12T07:54:33.011-07:00Out of curiosity Lord Keynes, have you read Gavin ...Out of curiosity Lord Keynes, have you read Gavin Kennedy's review of David Graeber's book?Blue Auroranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6245381193993153721.post-85351819217067888142012-04-12T07:48:00.310-07:002012-04-12T07:48:00.310-07:00How come you haven't included the CT seminar?How come you haven't included the CT seminar?Unlearningeconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687413107325575532noreply@blogger.com
