I can't speak on the China stuff, but the initial comments about the origins of money are quoting from David Graeber's work without saying so. That's all true, though Cory is giving a bit of an oversimplified version.

No, he's quoting Modern Monetary Theory. The state theory of money is not due to Graeber -- it goes back to the 19th century.

No, he is very much directly referencing Graeber in the same terms and narrative order as the book.
