This discussion puzzles me. I thought we were bombarded with reputational goods all the time: brand names, stocks (what is a purchase in the 2ndary market but a purchase of reputation most of the time?), degrees from famous universities. Anonymity compliates matters only if no systems of unique ID is used. Throw in digital signatures and we are back at brand names, aren't we? A.
