Povinné kukánie – J is for Junk Economics

Prichádza prvá z mojej novej série povinného kukánia, to je pre všetkých, čo sem páchnu, vrátane staffu Infovojny, aby si pozreli, lebo inak ma to nasere.
Ako prelude len toľko, že ja som bol v Erlangene na Univerzite, študoval som „neoliberalizmus“, ako tomu ja hovorím, oficiálne to bola samozrejme ekonomika, a vysral som sa im na to, práve z dôvodov, ktoré sú opisované hneď v prvom diele. Ostatné diely ale sú tiež cool.

Citáty:
„Well, I originally wrote it as an appendix to a book to have been called, „The Fictitious Economy,“ and the book was written before the 2008 crisis. And my point was that the way the economy is described in the press and the way that it’s described in University courses has very little to do with how the economy really works. And in a way, the press reports and the journalistic reports of the economy are… use a terminology that is very well crafted euphemisms to conceal how the economy works.“

„There’s a reason that the history of economic thought is not taught anymore in the universities. If people really read what Adam Smith wrote and John Stewart Mill wrote, they’d see that Adam Smith criticized the landlords. Said, you’ve got to tax away. It’s a free lunch. Mill said rent is what landlords make in their sleep, without working. Adam Smith said, whenever businessmen get together they’re going to conspire as to how to get money from the public at large and how to do a deal and mislead people.“
