Looks good, can't wait until this is published.
Hey Kevin,
This is an unrelated comment...
I noticed in the news that some governments are moving to insure interbank loans. When this is combined with government-backed deposit insurance, it could represent a general subsidy to the practice of lending money to strangers.
My impression is that this could result in a sort of financial centralization, as it negates the value of local information gathered from personal contact -- instead, it allows financial transactions to be abstracted/commoditized and increases the efficiencies of scale.
I don't recall you writing about this yet, but I'd love to hear any thoughts that you have (when you have time to move in a new direction).
Thanks, rj.
Nathan: I think the section of Ch. 16, recently posted, on certification and trust pretty much covers it (and the material quoted from Adem Kupi and quasibill).
