Bastiat

"The Law," is probably one of the most lucid defenses of the classical liberal system of economics I have ever read.

The Lexus and the Olive Tree. Once you read it you will understand that the logical outcome of Capitalism is Globalism.

What the fuck is "more intensely"? You're just going end up being sloppy if you work too fast.

Lol they don't even know what a KPI is, enough said.

>You're just going end up being sloppy if you work too fast.

I used to work with a mech eng that did repair and fabrication with electrofusion machines, this is definitely true. Any time the boomer manager rushed him unecesarily or overloaded his repair schedule there was more chance of slip ups. Not good.

John Stuart Mill

Hazlitt, economics in one lesson.

ayn rand is a faggot OP. is that what you want to be? a faggot?

Atlas Shrugged is 1000 pages of a middle school edgelord being a nigger. Waste of ink and paper

>working fast is bad because you'll make mistakes

Know how I know you're a millennial?

Actually reading Das Kapital is the biggest/only redpill you need against communism. Only a retard would read that shit and think it's remotely plausible in the real world.

You're retarded

Know how I know you work in unskilled manual labor?

Yeah sounds like he does

Any Rand's objectivism is a personal philosophy and not an economic theory. It essentially means pursuing self interest is not an evil.

Surely you mean the Fountainhead sex scene. It was actually passionate and im a firm believer sex scenes never add a single thing to any medium until i read about Roark's raging boner.

This. People love to criticize her as a philosopher or an economist which is really just complimentary of how charged her books are. Any of her ideas are just derivative of nieztsche and i doubt she'd deny that.

>as it started
Study the dutch independence wars and the VOC

Capital is probably the moat influential economic text of the modern era. But it doesnt talk about early capitalism, but mature capitalism

kapital is about capitalism not communism you utter faggot

So much faggotry here.

this one is for brainlets

if you really are reading this, I would rather advise you to read Peterson, as it comes with a bonus of teaching you to clean your room

A history of the medicis.

It's a little dated, but a good book. I would recommend Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell or maybe How an Economy Grows etc by Peter Schiff.

are you guys seriously advising OP to read Marx or Adam Smith? Are you fucking retarded?
This is like telling someone to read Aristotle to understand the laws of physics. It's like Aristotle wasn't a smart guy or anything, but his observations don't hold up anymore.
Same thing with Smith or Marx, since they were classical economists and they got a lot of shit wrong.
One has to to wonder, what else are you giving shitty advices on?

Yes, please don't read Adam Smith. Do you realize how many pages are just him rambling on about specific commodity prices?

Best advice ive read in awhile. Amen. Also my linkie stays super stinky

And yet he got it completely wrong

Really gets the noggin joggin
