2nd follow-up (can't edit my first). Wow, the DeLong piece is really epic. Graeber's caught in multiple errors (or faleshoods, or lies), gets epicly trolled by DeLong (a bit harsh, but ... on balance, called for), retaliates with taunting, name calling, and legal threats, anything but an "um, sorry, yeah, you were right", and ...
