People that get bent outta shape over what they’ve been conditioned to believe is Free Market Capitalism have no idea the cure they’re being led to swallow is actually the very poison that’s sickening them. Succinctly, free market capitalism is a wonderful thing, too bad it’s pretty much all been usurped by socialists.
I find the myth fine. The exchange is inherently complex. Vikings traded and plundered. Gold was in coins. Markets had some controls. Different markets with different cultures. The market we rose with from the 19th century was not the market of the 12th century.
America advanced faster than any society in history. From dirt floor log cabins and outhouses to full literacy, indoor plumbing and space exploration inside of 200 years. They didn’t do it by believing in backwards historical precedents. The American dollar was gaining value right up until the foxes inside the henhouse started bleeding it for themselves starting 1913 always citing it’s for “the greater good.” That’s when the market we rose from starting dying and the virtue rope started getting woven.
I am not sure of this being completely the case. Obviously the USA was not the only nation to develop over 200 years. Settlement of a frontier was not urban luxury like Boston or New York or Charleston and the nation was a frontier more or less until mid-19th century. Money--here is a post regarding the Pound and the Dollar. https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/british-pound-sterling-vs.-u.s.-dollar:-a-brief-history

I hope someday you publish a book of all your Agamben translations.
