    Considering you cant name a book, i doubt it. I’m currently reading The Value of Everything by Mariana Mazzucato and Yurugu by Marimba Ani. I cant recommend both of them enough. Its about culture as much as it is about economics.

      I mean, no. I’m not going to go dig up the syllabus for my econ classes just to prove a point.

      You clearly don’t understand economics if you think paying for housing for 335,000,000 citizens is even remotely feasible without a major tax increases on everyone.

      Communism is a nice thought experiment, but it’ll never actually work because humans are awful.

        “Humans are awful” is why they call econ the dismal science; did they actually present that as a reason why communism wouldn’t work when your classes covered it?

        So you haven’t read a book on economics since you graduated, got it.

      This is some hard hexbear vibes. Asking for titles of books read is unbearably cringe.
