Have Anthropologists Overturned Menger?By Robert P. MurphyPosted on 08 September 2011 Robert P. Murphy on economic anthropologist David Graeber's new book. Have Anthropologists Overturned Menger? Mises Daily: Thursday, September 01, 2011 by Robert P. Murphy Last week the popular blog "naked capitalism" ran an interview with David Graeber, an "economic anthropologist" whose new book allegedly destroys the standard account of the origin of money. If correct, Graeber's views would prove embarrassing to the Austrian School, because it was none other than Carl Menger who developed the first systematic explanation for how people went from barter to a full-blown monetary economy. http://mises.org/daily/5598/Have-Anthropologists-Overturned-Menger |
