What's so curious about it? It is wrong anyway, we can all borrow money from
each other. The argument is wrong in the same manner Rosa Luxemburg's proof
theory of inevitable collapse of capitalism was wrong - because it does not
inherently include "time" as an axis in its analysis of the interaction of
various "sectors" of capitalist production - (sectors in the sense defined
in Cap.vol.II)

I really don't see what kind of implications it is loaded with. 

Btw, critique of "capital"?
