ill check that one out too
I dont like justin trudaue
@halfthink Let me save that and read some books on it
You really want to try and understand the complexities of our economics today, do some research on the end of WWII with special reverence to everything that happened starting with FDR, and his One World principles, leading into the rebuilding of Europe via several economic packages, and the Marshall Plan. That continues into the development of the European Union. All of this happened as a response to the Soviet buildup in Europe.
Thanks
Bretton Woods was an absolute failure.
It's a good thing it failed. The end goal was one world state, we are still heading in that direction tho.
That's where FDR appointed a Russian plant to head the World Bank.
What was Bretton Woods?
Winning the Peace: The Marshall Plan and America's Coming of Age as a Superpower. Nicolaus Mills
We arent going to get a one world state
Hopefully not
Its impossible
Saving a Continent: The Untold Story of the Marshall Plan <- good read by Bruce Jones & Strobe Talbott
@halfthink Do you read any philosophers?
The Mises organization has a lot in their free library halfthink pointed to. A lot of philosophy in there.
I already have some books I want to read on it
Mises himself. Read Liberalism.
He discusses her quite a bit.
He seems concrete bound
I might check him out eventually to larger extent
Does he every advocate for a morality for capitalism?
Read him. You won't be disappointed.
interesting that that book is free to read lol
Damn
Everything in the Mises library is free.
This guy is better than I expected from someone who's not an Objectivist
Hes still concrete bound though
What isn't concrete-bound?
Ayn Rand saw the events and the ideas and why they happened and could pinpoint the exact philosophical problems
Same with Peikoff
All of those gay people who marched for gay marriage couldn't accomplish shit! Why is it legal now? Because people made a law against it, and it was brought to court and found to be unconstitutional. The unintended consequences are what undermines our country.
Objectivists would probs prefer Rothbard over Mises.
Why is Donald Trump president? Because the leftists continued to insult people and shut them out. Trump gave them a voice.
Trump is president because we rejected principles
Hes a pragmatist
The swing of the pendulum, and the backlash against any force will nearly always end up reversing progress.
