As are we all.

2019-02-12 21:10:26 UTC  

which just reminded me rather briskly to what the internet really is.

2019-02-12 21:10:42 UTC  

as in, quite the landfill.

2019-02-12 21:10:55 UTC  

The trash heap of good ideas

Thomas Sowell

2019-02-12 23:43:08 UTC  

isn't he the guy who wrote the book on basic economics

2019-02-12 23:43:38 UTC  

He wrote many books

2019-02-12 23:43:40 UTC  

I love him

2019-02-12 23:43:59 UTC  

There was some video of him on an old TV show facing of with a feminist and it was so beautiful

2019-02-12 23:44:00 UTC  

Hazlitt's economics in one lesson > Sowell's basic bitch commie economics.

2019-02-12 23:44:41 UTC  

I like that he's able to explain the issues in the black community bluntly without being immediately labeled a racist

2019-02-12 23:45:06 UTC  

"basic bitch commie economics" do you know who Thomas Sowell is

2019-02-12 23:45:18 UTC  

he is the furthest you could get from a commie

2019-02-12 23:45:46 UTC  

Thomas Sowell actually started out as a commie.

2019-02-12 23:45:47 UTC  

Check out Walter E Williams. He's good on the black question.

2019-02-12 23:46:16 UTC  

Well if he started out as a commie he clearly isn't one anymore

2019-02-12 23:46:36 UTC  

Most economists do. That's why the undergrad AOC is so socialist.

2019-02-12 23:47:01 UTC  

Sowell ended up a cicago school commie. He's just not an explicit Marxist anymore.

2019-02-12 23:47:11 UTC

2019-02-12 23:48:59 UTC  

@halfthink Let me save that and read some books on it

2019-02-12 23:52:35 UTC  

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.

2019-02-12 23:53:05 UTC  

Thanks

2019-02-12 23:55:05 UTC  

Bretton Woods was an absolute failure.

2019-02-12 23:56:15 UTC  

It's a good thing it failed. The end goal was one world state, we are still heading in that direction tho.

2019-02-12 23:56:17 UTC  

That's where FDR appointed a Russian plant to head the World Bank.

2019-02-12 23:58:13 UTC  

What was Bretton Woods?

2019-02-12 23:58:16 UTC  

Winning the Peace: The Marshall Plan and America's Coming of Age as a Superpower. Nicolaus Mills

2019-02-12 23:58:41 UTC  

We arent going to get a one world state

2019-02-12 23:59:12 UTC  

Hopefully not

2019-02-12 23:59:26 UTC  

Its impossible
