GuestHe made some good points when describing some problems.
His solutions, and their derivatives, have been completely wrong.

ParticipantI just read the communist manifesto and I’m moving on to capital. This stuff is goid! I think I might be a marxist.
October 8, 2015 at 6:50 PM #790085GuestI never read Karl Marx. Seems old. Is it really that good?
You should read Thomas Pikety’s capital in the 21st century. He the hottest economist right now.

CoronitaParticipantAnimal Farm. Great book, especially the ending. Kinda like what is going on in china right now.

ParticipantYes, he was largely right. He’s one of the greatest economic philosophers in history. Like him or not, he was brilliant.
I’ve found that the **vast majority** of people who put down Marx and/or his theories have never actually read Marx. Most haven’t read Adam Smith, either.
October 10, 2015 at 7:16 AM #790108ParticipantI mean, jeez, everyone should have their own personal private copy.
October 10, 2015 at 8:39 AM #790110GuestI don’t even own a bible. I should take a complementary copy from a hotel.

Is it brilliant to theorize that a brain surgeon and a janitor should be paid the same? No, and that’s essentially what Marx claims.
October 11, 2015 at 8:45 AM #790126ParticipantDo most workers feel alienated at work. Paramount, do you feel sort of just plain shifty about the housing market, money, life, rrlationships? Maybe Marx has something descriptive to say about it.
