Bonus: Readings on "The Division of Labour" 10/09/2020

Bonus: Readings on "The Division of Labour" An old file, and an old idea I had, to quote at length several passages that were crucial to forming my own understanding of what the "division of labour" is. I have a new script to redo this episode without the long and tedious quotes, so you can expect that soon. In the future I will provide my own summary of important readings and why I care, rather than just quoting straight from the source material. /episode/index/show/libtard/id/16253510

Thoughts & predictions on the upcoming global depression 10/02/2020

Thoughts & predictions on the upcoming global depression New style in this episode as I freestyle my thoughts rather than write them all down first. Lots of hmm's and uh's which is something for me to work on. I talk about the cause and effect of economics, the anti-science dogmatism of Keynesianism, global inflation trends as well as history, and the interventionists attempt to create an unending boom. /episode/index/show/libtard/id/16253210

The Classical Liberal vs. Humanist argument against war Not all arguments are created equally. How does a Humanitarian argue against violence and war? How does a Classical Liberal? Why are these not the same? Besides, who's really pro-war anyways? /episode/index/show/libtard/id/15136829

History of Money & Exchange | Currency Debasement Then & Inflationism Now 03/27/2020

History of Money & Exchange | Currency Debasement Then & Inflationism Now A history of human exchange. From Barter: "The armour of Diomede, says Homer, cost only 9 oxen; but that of Glaucus cost a hundred oxen", to the modern money economy and digital banking. How was currency debased then, and how is it done today? + Money assumes private property and a division of labour, so cannot exist in a pure socialist society. I didn't mention it here much, but Lenin's attempts to abolish money and the progressive return to the NEP's use of a gold standard make for remarkable reading. /episode/index/show/libtard/id/13731002
