Really good book.

My notes from phd work, which I will clean up into a proper review later:

Summary: latest 30 years war==1914-1945, the Long 20th century==18xx-1914, 'Monopoly' was stolen(!), great quotes. Website (and my notes) below...



p. 14-15 -money as memory; Kant-> anthropology; DelMar similarity: Juno Moneta, but better: men
p. 24 -Rousseau was burned in effigy for Emile? I loved Emile! (Read it for Phil. of Ed. in 2002)
-Georg Caffentzis: esp. Civil Government: John Locke Philosophy of Money
-find time to read CLR James and Ghandi's autobiography

WOW >> p. 30-31 -"If the twenty-first century is governed by the same principles as the last century, there will not be a twenty-second."

p. 38-39 (my concl:) since Space race -> educ. in US (vs. in UK w/no space race, wkrs stayed unskilled...)
p. 41 But, Chavez and Subcomandante Marcos already do think globally of humanity as a whole!
p. 49 -citation 24 is great: Rome..."made the world safe for landlords"
p. 65 -c37 'manifestly contrary that handful gorge while hungry multitude in want' from JJ Rouseau 'Discourse on Inequality'
-also see UN Human Dev. Rep.
p. 66 -we are the ancien r'egime (fr. de Tocqueville); we are savages applying ancient structures/institutions to new tech./machines
p. 68 -resee ch. 15, parts 3-5 of Marx's Capital I; Thorstein Veblen -Theory of business enterprise: machines contradict markets?? see also Nicholas Negroponte: Being Digital

p. 73 -capitalism==making money with money (reminds me of Ros' comment: 'choice' via TNC's: but I want xyz, not ABC!)
p. 78-9 -Soros money speculation (p. 79, those whose unaccountable power allowed them to steal from prod. members of society.' ...
p. 82-3 -Locke and Proudhon agreed, but Proudhon not cited... (why??)
p. 111 -cites Mauss on gift econ, trust and association
p. 114 -see Marx and Engels Communist Manifesto, Caffentzis on Locke, Gudeman and Rivera's 'Conversations in Columbia: The Domestic Economy in Life and Text', 1990
p. 120 -good table w/classes of political economy -says class divs. persist today, but ??art/religion to what classes??

P. 127 -"And once again a counter-revolution was launched to preserve the power of rule from above. Its name was the United States of America."
((personal aside: This complements something I saw a the Walcot Nation/street festival last weekend: a tombstone to American Democracy: 1776-2000 with the epitath "Jail to the Thief" and a simily of an American flag draped over the buried coffin.

p. 128 -strong states before end of 1970's w/good economies, narrowing gap betw. rich/poor; now opposites in all, esp. after end of Cold War -> implications for state capitalism?
p. 148-9 -my comment: because war == burying bank notes in old bottles!! (or, the anti-Keynesian Keynesian way of stimulating economies)
p. 168-9 -See also W. A. Lewis 'The evolution of the international economic order' 1978 (citation 18), UN HDR, J. Robinson and J. Eatwell 'An Intro. to Economics' 1973 McGraw Hill, Book I, G. Soros 'The Crisis of Global Capitalism: Open Society Endangered' 1998
p. 204 -modern anthr. refusal to look at inst. of modern econ. (me: maybe we're not meant to understand it, or the smoke & mirrors fail)

P. 254 -!!!What an outrage!!! Henry George's social credit party invented Monopoly as an anti-capitalist teaching tool to illustrate the unfairness of our econ. system, but that dumb game company stole it!!

p. 262 -Galbraith and Marx; we never blame system/gov/oil co./rich for our plight, but blame money itself; Simmel opposed gold std. in order to emphasize that WE create money which has its value in trust/interdependence
P. 280-1 -LETS/SEL
p. 284 -LETS, JAK Members Bank: Swedish interest-free s&l (JAK==land,labor,capital in Swedish -yay Polanyi!!)
p. 287 -jk galbraith Money: whence it came, whither it went, see Caffentzis on Locke
p. 288 -Funny Money by David Boyle
P. 304 -5 bad things about Inequality, 'after two decades of 'loadamoney' economics': poor->poorer, rich...==apartheid
P. 310 -"Who else will stand against the forces that reduce this advance for humanity to a way of consolidating the old regime? There is a revolution to be made and it has to start now. The people, after all, is each one of us."
p.312-313 - mine: i.e. via local $ and open borders
p.324 -"democracy by another name" ->F. Engels 'socialism: utopian and scientific' in Marx-Engels, Selected Works, 1968 ==economic democracy; see Avineri's Hegel's Theory of the Modern State; J.J. Rousseau's Discourse on Inequality and The Social Contract
