I note a certain ruffling over at smug wood gulch
The topic
Has davey graeberunched a hole inmarx
Subject the historical emergence of money and the history of barter
I submit throwing a harpoon at Karl is a tell tale act of hubris
Why not dig up some big got willing to play historic straw man
See
Davey wants to demonstrate a barter stage of exchange never existed
Now of course once you see how it's tricked out
Who could disagree
Any more then there was a stage one could call simple commodity production
In fact that's a far more controversial assertion eh ?
The upshot of the back and forth over at smugville
The placement of Karl on the opposite side of Davy and the historical record
Is not emphatically precise
-----such that there is a historical record
In as much as these are pre historical societies we're talking about--
My take
Then why drag Karl in ?
Obviously to win great fame as the killer of the great red whale
