  • Trust - Ajay: 2 things going on: boom & bust (who do you trust in each). Once upon a time, people would create things: crafgts - surplus goods, services, skills, local.
    by bryanhurren at 3/17/2009 10:28:57 PM
  • Ajay: move to trade. Cargo, relationships, loans. In the trust scenario is low - interest is premium on risk.
    by bryanhurren at 3/17/2009 10:29:43 PM
  • bank: fx, trust, bond, credit. in the 1600's (some history): dutch had merchants around the world in diff currencies. Italians came up with loans. Brits deposits. Can't make a transaction without trust.
    by bryanhurren at 3/17/2009 10:31:11 PM
  • Greed: (pic of jim cramer and martha stewart): expensive, mistrust, destructive.

    by bryanhurren at 3/17/2009 10:33:58 PM
  • Craft > Trade > Bank > Greed; scaling of systems of boom times. bust = lost trust in evrythng we value, all stages of the scale. #sxswmoney
