Talk:The Death of Money

Book instead of term

I don't think "death of money" is notable enough as a term to justify an article. (Feel free to prove me wrong, I might just not know about it.) However, this article could probably be converted readily into an article on Kurtzman's book, and cover the same ideas (probably without the OECD stuff). Thoughts?

He wrote a Harv Bus Rev article that explained the idea. I think it is a key idea/term and the book title happens to be the same. There may be a book called "quantum mechanics" and the term itself exists as well. The same here. In any case, the Wiki reader is not going to be more informed by leaps and bounds if the article changes to a book. Minor issue in my mind really. Cheers.

I'm wondering how many other people picked up and ran with the expression, though. Is it a term in general use? If so, then that's fine for an article. If it's an idea he put forward in one book & article, then as an idea I don't think it's notable enough--particularly because colloquially, "death of money" could be taken as having lots of meanings.

Reality: A minor argument not worth pursuing. There are so many huge errors to fix in Wikipedia, this is really beside the point. History2007 (talk) 21:14, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, then. I re-factored to be about the book. CRETOG8(t/c) 21:31, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
