I have his copy of 'How the World Works'. I should give it a re-read. And he seems to be an anarcho-syndicalist from Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

My impression is that Chomsky is a big fan of Smith. Was Smith an anarcho-capitalist as Chomsky self-describes himself? I know he absolutely hates how...

The general gist that I understand what Adam Smith was doing was making use of the human passions in a constructive manner. Smith, Hume, and later eco...

Ok, I understand that much. So, you have to have some alternative. What is it then?
June 19, 2017 at 01:12
So, what's the issue here? Is it that you are just unhappy that the market doesn't employ these people or what exactly? I brought up neo-liberalism be...

Perkins specifically mentioned that it is our foreign policy that is the cause for the arguable actions of these economic hit men. That's distinct fro...

I meant to say that neo-liberalism isn't the answer to the things you demand from it, e.g eliminating poverty or homelessness.

I don't want to nitpick; but, it seems to me that in general there is nothing wrong with some regulation. Is there some golden mean that we can agree ...

Maybe if we're talking about monopolies; but, the market isn't controlled by one corporation or one business, as we all know, and we still buy toys an...
