Im fairly sure that even if we destroyed the rich, redistributed their assets and then went full socialist, over time money of the many would fall into the hands of the few and a new super rich class would be formed. The new rich would then use their wealth to change the laws back to capitalism.

Something like 50% of all rich people are preppers and have reserved spots in huge self-sustaining complexes/bunkers for just such an occasion. They also have vacation houses in other countries that are more rich people friendly. And yachts. And private security trained to murder thousands of poors on command. Hope you guys are up for a challenge!

Sheep-Goats posted:The amount of math you have to take to get an econ degree is hilariously small, especially given how complex many of the problems involving money are compared to items in the physical world that engineers or physicists deal with. Taking something an economist says about the economy to heart is usually like putting stock in your tarot reading aunt's opinions on nutrition. Economics is an arena for soft brained people to sit in hoping some salesman active in the economy comes by and picks them to be their fall guy or jester while they go about robbing people using some variation on the rounding off scheme from Superman 3. You don't have the slightest clue what you are talking about. https://medium.com/the-physics-of-finance/arrogant-physicists-do-they-think-economics-is-easy-b91a9e6ee184#.wm74pkpbw

Sheep-Goats posted:Maybe you should read the article instead of just linking it because it's basically a list of times when people with actual quantitative abilities (in this article "physicists") came into econ blind and outshone the residents despite supposedly having to struggle with new material. And a guy with a physics BA has maybe half the range of quantitative skills of someone with a math BA, maybe a fourth the ability to get a computer to do work for him as a comp sci BA. That's not the point. You were saying that the mathematics in physics is far more complicated than the math used economics and economics is just a pretend science that doesn't use math or statistics (lol). Describing human behavior mathematically, or complex global interconnected economies can be just as complicated as describing the physical universe we live in. If someone with physics or high-level mathematics training becomes an economist, they are an economist. If they are using the extent of their quantitative abilities applied to economics, then the math is equally complex to physics. I agree the math you need for an undergrad econ degree is small (only really use multivariate calculus and linear algebra), but it's just a few more classes for undergrad physics. And some undergrad with an econ degree is not an "economist". Pretty much every economist has a PhD. The people who are actually on the forefront of economic theory or something related like quantitative finance are every bit as mathematically inclined as your average physicist. The only difference is that they have higher paying jobs. :P Oh and btw, several recent econ nobel laureates got their undergrad degree in econ. Not that it loving matters what you did in undergrad lol.

hey welcome to the show! posted:I'm technically on the fringes of being poor. I make 21000 a year pay 900 a month in rent work 48 hors a week and have no debt because I didn't go to collage. I also have an OK savings just in case. The global median salary is somewhere around $1500 per year, so you are rich as gently caress. To be the top 1% you only need to make $34,000.

myDad posted:isn't that a false equivalence? a specific amount of money doesn't buy the same quality of life everywhere you go Well as the saying goes, "It's better to be poor in a rich country than rich in a poor country". Just being in a first world country means you are part of the wealthy elite from a global perspective. You benefit from a ton of poo poo that you take for granted. You have clean, drinkable water. You have sewage systems. You have police and army to protect you and you family. Paved roads, education, Internet, etc
