Alter Ego posted:Speaker of the House Randy "Iron Stache" Bryce I mean he's won his district pretty handily every time, so I'd bet it's more that he figures this was his peak. Better to get out now rather than later when he's just a nobody Rep with a brief and largely ineffectual flirtation with leadership.

The GOP was always agreed on the broad principles of the deal, which are as always more money for us, gently caress you.

axeil posted:Ah, yep! That's what it was called and it was von Mises who wrote the paper I'm thinking of which is called "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth". Well one thing I would say is that socialism means workers own the means of production not the government. So it might be true that command economies are inefficient but "Socialist Commonwealth" is a misnomer. Also some Austrian came up with the "subjective theory of value" so maybe that is two things they got right.

So it might be true that command economies are inefficient but "Socialist Commonwealth" is a misnomer. Yeah, wasn't it Trotsky who argued a true socialist economy would not be command and instead based on the communes of workers determining their output and thus it would mimic a free market system instead of a central planning commission like what Stalin had?

Ironstache has an advantage (should he win the primary, which is most likely) in that he is a white dude blue collar type, so he can peel off more lower middle class types like my parents from the upper class assholes, though.

Is there a even vaguely legitimate sounding argument against net neutrality, or is this just 100% republicans knowing their base has absolutely no intellectual curiosity about anything at all ever? Like, I'm not looking to be convinced NN is bad, but is anyone even trying? "Lowering corporate taxes will make more jobs" is bullshit, but it's at least an argument. What is the argument here?

axeil posted:I don't think any other economics book out there is talking about stuff that happened in the 17th and 18th centuries. FWIW, an aside. There are plenty of work about that, but afaik American econ literature is heavily oriented towards the big three (chicago/columbia/harvard) - outside the anglo-saxon mainstream there are plenty of perspectives using a lot of interesting methods. Schumpeter, for one, wrote plenty about past crises thanks to his idea of creative destruction. There's Karl Polanyi and his Great Transformation, which a mammoth work of anthropology applied with economics about how capitalism transformed man and vice-versa, with a lot dedicated to crises. The Scandinavian authors are also great (I think Veblen and Myrdal are some of the absolute greatest econ intellectuals and it is a goddamn disgrace that they are so little known). There are also the new Marxist authors with plenty of approaches (geographical, historical, sociological) which David Harvey is (imho) the most accessible and interesting. Also, there are other guys like Wallerstein and Arrighi which study crises through the lens of world-systems theory, which is a pretty good framework form some problems in economics. And for a more technical approach, I really like guys like Hyman Minsky: his explanation for the inherent instability of financial markets is imho loving solid
