```Harrison explained that the biggest problem for the Air Force right now is growing costs despite a dwindling fleet and sub-optimal mission readiness rates. The current Air Force situation is “like a power-on stall in an airplane,” he said. Despite the budget being “full throttle” and “at an all time high,” the service has fewer aircraft and personnel, a declining mission capable rate, it flies fewer hours per year, and is suffering a higher mishap rate.```
I put this here to make a comparison between current military spending with recent trends in market cap / employee we are seeing

aside from the national security aspect which is dire, we are spending more and more on military but it's going to fewer and fewer people, at the end of the day

@Throttles if you already know the basics, follow steve keen on all platforms (he does patreon podcasts, youtube videos with anyone and everyone, articles, discussions in his personal discord, twitter) and michael hudson, (especially read their books *debunking economics*, and *superimperialism*, anddd *trade, development and foreign debt* and you can read their other books if you want (i did, but i found those 3 books were far and away the best)). These books frame a large amount of the critiques against mainstream economics + give some economic history and primers to other approaches before reading slightly more substantial stuff like:
*Elgar's companion to institutional and evolutionary economics* both volumes
*routledge handbook of ecological economics*
*oxford handbook of post keynesian economics vol 1 and 2*
*post keynesian and ecological economics*
*The Cognitive Basis of Institutions : A Synthesis of Behavioral and Institutional Economics*

i follow a few post keynesian blogs but theyre not that interesting: http://neweconomicperspectives.org/
http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/
http://cepr.net/blogs/beat-the-press/

more than half of the articles on this website are great https://evonomics.com/

this site gives primers on the relevant schools and gives literature to read: https://www.exploring-economics.org/en/

and once you get past all of that, theres 5 good academic journals you can flick through if you want:
Cambridge Journal of Economics
Journal of Economic Issues
Review of Political Economy
Journal of Ecological Economics
Journal of Post Keynesian Economics

**SJW**: SJW stands for "[Social Justice Warrior]", however its actual meaning has changed several times, and even now depends on context.

Originally the term was positive, with figures such as [Martin Luther King Jr]. and [Mahatma] Gandhi being described as such when praised for their work in bringing justice and equality to oppressed groups. Examples of its use as a term of praise go back as far as 1824, and this continued to be the meaning of the term up until around 2011.

In 2011 several events, primarily [Gamergate], led to the term becoming a pejorative. Many began to use the term to describe people who were overly sensitive and quick to insult anyone who said something they perceived as attacking or oppressing some group of people, even when it wasn't warranted. Basically, anyone who overreacted to a perceived slight against a person or group of people.

However, the term has continued to evolve. While the previous definition sometimes applies, it's now often used simply as an excuse to dismiss things other people say without having to think about them at all, regardless of whether or not they have a valid point. In other words, it's increasingly used as if it's a "get out of jail free" card for insulting entire groups of people. This watering down of the meaning is slowly turning the term into a meaningless insult.
*Early: "The late Reverend [King's] work as a social justice warrior helped lead to the integration of all races in our schools today."

Mid: "All I said was that maybe she overreacted, and the SJW accused me of oppressing all women!"

Late: "She should get off YouTube and make me a sandwich. And before any of you [SJWs] complain, it's [just a joke]."*
