Man my brain hurts as I start to read the article and it says that the writer has a chair in the rockfeller institute and wrote a book called what went wrong with capitalism, which is just about the weirdest thing ever
Excerpted from the blurb for this "what went wrong with capitalism" book:
He thinks what went wrong with capitalism is that's it's not as laissez-faire as the robber baron era anymore.
proceeds to say the same monotonous sleight-of-hand changing-the-name-of-things-and-thinking-you've-changed-the-thing-itself garbage every bourgeois economist left of Murray goddamn Rothbard has shit out then re-shit out from their overpaid university institutions in a nauseating cycle for a hundred years
This is literally the same "road to serfdom" (also a terrible book) mont perelin garbage that has been bandied about by liberal bourgeois economists for a century, and is still as detached from the material reality and interests and the actual nature of political-economy and the state behind these inevitable realities. I'm unreasonably pissed at that blurb for being so goddamn bad and historically illiterate.
both of them. author and blurb-writer. go to the gulag and be reeducated. You must transcribe Marx's Captital by hand 3 times, with select chapters chosen by the central committee to be transcribed 10 times each.
Marx's Captital sounds like a porn parody.
