Econ was one of my two majors
And I really got into Economic History and Economic Philosophy. This "violence is the only solution" was covert propiganda after the Paris Commune. Marx's partner and benefactor was wealthy and I believe that is where the violence is the solution came from. I feel if we are to ever get out of this mess is for a global asset audit and really figure out who owns what. Then we have to decide how to provide enough, sustain the environment while allowing for research, innovation and ability for good ideas to be rewarded. I lament that Carter's plan to eliminate oil imports by 2000, using 1970s tech being discarded by the GOP & Reagan is such a catastrophe.
