Oh yes. I participated in your book club. I was reminded of Lyn's discussion of commodity v. credit theory. At the time I read Broken Money, I was happy to see her refutation of the credit theory put forth by Graeber in Debt, The First Five Thousand Years. When I read this article early this morning I was wondering if there is a distinction between what I think of as credit theory and the claim theory Butler discussed. They seem to me to be pretty much the same thing.
