Where do I make my mark to be a slave?
I also think they misspelled BOSS.
Crap. You just made me google to double checkā¦bastid.
I love the cover on that book. A blue sky with pretty clouds.
As you read that book with Marx raging against the bourgeoisie and the owners of capital exploiting laborā¦ just think about him having a maid that he refused to pay. Then he knocked her up and kicked her out destitute, refusing to acknowledge his own son.

Thatās on my list of to reads
Itās not worth it. Das Kapital is much better
so you donāt recognize the subjective theory of value??
Let me clarify: For me, itās not worth it
Serious question (Iām not testing you ā¦ really just curious) ā¦ did you read it? why do you prefer das kapital over it? Iāve only heard reviews of it from free market advocates so you can see that itās a biased review.
Iāve read it, but itās been a while.
Honest thoughts?
Itās been so long I honestly donāt recall much of it. I donāt recall having the impression that Marx was dumb, but I think he suffered from the same issue a lot of people today suffer from, which is worshiping an ideology even when it falls apart under scrutiny.

Ever have the desire to read anything on the other end of the economics spectrum from Mises - particularly Human Action? I think youāve read some Sowell stuff, right?
Iāve read Return of Depression Economics by Krugman which was actually pretty good. Iād have to re-read it from the perspective and understanding I have now (I read it about 8 years ago or so). Free to Choose by Friedman is a great read and Road to Serfdom by Hayek
I have tried to read varying economic perspectives (Sowell, Schumpeter, Reich, etcā¦). I find it very dry and boring, butI still try to suffer through it from time to time, lol.
Iām also an accountant not an economist so I donāt fully grasp the concepts more often than not and I donāt usually feel like doing a deep dive into some curve or equationā¦
Way down at the bottom of my Amazon wishlist, lol:
Even further down, lol
Iām reading Ben Sasseās The Vanishing American Adult for one of my college classes. Heās a Christian, and I know many of you are not, but I think heās got a lot of good stuff to say. Mostly talking about what has led to kids being such dumbasses today. Got it used off Amazon for like $5 or so. Only half way through but would recommend!
I mean it guys, weāre trying our best up here. Supplise of women are low in certain rural locations.

Iām curious about this book but there are other books much much higher on the list ā¦ I doubt Iāll ever get to reading this one. While youāre at it, Iād recommend Jonathan Haidtās āThe Coddling of the American Mindā, along with āThinking, Fast and Slowā by Daniel Kahenman
