“If we were charitable, we would say economists were bad at their jobs. If we were being mean, we might compare promerger economists to paid prostitutes, but that would be grossly unfair to prostitutes.”

Good book recommendation. The description on Amazon (of course) makes this one seem well worth my time. Purchased 👍

I raise you Michael Hudson’s Killing the Host and Noam Chomsky’s Consequences of Capitalism.

I’m at chapter three, but so far so good.

Thanks for the recommendations! I always find you notes insightful. I’m still working through “Understanding Power” by Chomsky, but I’ll add them to my list ☺️
