That's cute, but also not how any of this works.

I suggest https://www.amazon.com/Basic-Economics-Thomas-Sowell/dp/0465060730 -- it's 700 pages but I'm sure you can do it if you put some effort in.

fosforus uses deflection!

It's not very effective!

Answer me instead of making bad jokes, coward.

By the way - are you unaware of the incredible self own inherent in this? In your attempt to "recommend" a book for more information on these issues, you recommend "basic economics". Well...

Dude. It was entirely a deflection. Answer my fucking comment. I have literally no need whatsoever to respect your "recommendation". It was an attempt to avoid answering my statements and nothing more than that. So go ahead, answer. Or are you too scared?

Also, I have Cowbee's statements to lean on, which you yourself conceded to, to know what the book is like.

Answer my fucking comment.

Read the book. Educate yourself beyond the crap you've studied so far.

Also, I have Cowbee’s statements to lean on, which you yourself conceded to, to know what the book is like.

I conceded that he has such an opinion.

Do you need more internet points for being so incredible?

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago

Still not an answer. You can say all you like, but until you answer you are only continuing to deflect.

Oof, unironically suggesting Sowell? Might as well toss in Prager-U, or DailyWire.

Ok, so which multiple award-winning, widely respected PhD of Economics would you suggest instead? Or you just against things instead of having any positions of your own, like most other deep-end socialists are?

For one, I wouldn't recommend a clown that supports removing the minimum wage, or argues that colonization was a good thing. Recommending a far-right Chicago economist, who is far-right even by Chicago school standards, is laughably absurd.

I have many positions of my own. Decentralization is key, as is democratization, and this extends to production. I think protecting worker power is key, and I think Imperialism and colonization are terrible. As such, I can't agree with recommending Sowell.

All of those are reasons why I'm a leftist and am on Lemmy, rather than a Capitalist site like Reddit.

Fair enough.

Henry Kissinger won a nobel peace prize lmao

Capitalist awards often mean you are bad at the thing they're commending you for
