I can have some sympathy for Dave, having been victimized by a journalist/editor who clearly didn't understand the issue discussed, and rewrote it out of ignorance. I can imagine trying to skim the pre-print and missing stuff.

Graeber's few sentences on the History of Apple Computers are clearly wrong. But inconsequential to economics. His more consequential claim is that barter did not precede debt, and that economists claim so to evade inclusion of a comprehensive view of banking (ala MMT) in classical models. That's what I'd like to hear Economists talking about.
