oh yeah, some of the old greek and roman philosophers would be a good place to look for some stuff for sure, as regards to economics and political economy

lol, spit on the dead all you like, but not all of them were statists, diogenes and socratese notably

Doesn't mean their work doesn't have massive amounts of value you may be ignoring. I believe you can read with an open mind but also critically protect your convictions.

i'm sure she's mainly referring to Aurelius and Plato tho

of course some of the more popular ones are promoted by bootlickers

i would recommend Nassim Taleb too, for his stuff on systems theory and probability but he's such a git these days with his covid and bitcoin obsession
