I liked Guy Caron. A socialist and an economist.
Can we elect the entire staff of The Beaverton? They might actually do a good job.
Socialists are extremely good at economics, because they throw out all the capitalist indoctrination garbage that economics is plagued with. Opinions about Carl M and Freddy E aside, their knowledge and communication of economics is second to none; that book is still making solid predictions to this day and all of that despite the myriad of large mistakes and flaws its writers ended up having to correct early on.
Capitalists on the other hand are some of the stupidest motherfuckers out there. All marketing crap, models that don't make any sense at all (but it makes sense to them and you're the idiot for not understanding) and they always run their companies into the ground whenever someone is stupid enough to put them in charge. I specially remembered one business course I took way back when being so completely and utterly full of shit that I wasn't surprised when I later heard that he got himself banned from teaching after they found out he was a scam artist who was consistently grifting their way into trying to get people to buy into their marketing crap. I'll just take their word on it; I wouldn't know because I left that waste of oxygen's class half-way and from what I heard the rest didn't last much longer. I presume the only reason it took them so long to find out what he was doing is because nobody actually made it to the end to receive the scam payload.
