Key Notes
model
The Bank of England changes debt by making creditors lend to the nation rather than to a mortal or defaulting king, so the people remain liable even when the ruler dies.
diagnosis
Jiang says ancient monumental work was not organized around individual proprietary credit; it was organized around whether the shared vision was built.
diagnosis
For Jiang, the desire to patent, get credit, and monetize an idea is part of why modern ideas become weak.

model
The Bank of England solves the credit crisis by turning loans from personal loans to kings into loans to the nation, making repayment survive the death or deposition of any monarch.
model
The father-and-son thought experiment models a recurrent historical pattern in which the founder builds the organization and capacity for growth while the successor expands it and receives the visible credit.
definition
Jiang says parliamentary sovereignty solved the monarch-credit problem by turning loans to the crown into claims on the English nation state itself.
