I also read:

“We the Living”

“Fountainhead”

“Atlas Shrugged”

The author of the above three tomes praised a cigarette held in the hand of a smoker “Fire are the control of a man”

Oh yeah, under control!

Ayne Rand went to Canada and had lung surgery at Canadian taxpayers’ expense. Yeah. Theory is good but better to live even through mooching off others! Bah!

FMD - Drunk has lost his marbles again!

Aussie...WTF are you? You gotta see this 😂🤣😆

Get lost, idiot!

You read:

The Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. ...

and Das Kapital, by Karl Marx.

Bobby

I myself was required to read many parts of those published works you’ve listed whilst at Sydney Uni.

Why? So I could submit essays to pass the following 2 subjects in my degree program :

1. Political Economy
2. Government

Whilst I found these works quite boring it was also important for me to read them so as to know exactly how the dysfunctional Communist mind operates.

Edit : I also read certain parts of Mein Kamf for the same reasons ie to submit essays and pass subjects. More importantly it afforded me the opportunity to assess the dysfunctional mentality of a certain German Fascist dictator (whose name doesn’t deserve to be mentioned).

I’m no Marxist/Leninist/Socialist/Communist etc.

I’m no Fascist either.

These extreme political ideologies have been responsible for the deaths of untold millions of people. That’s a good reason to repudiate and reject them IMO!

Thanks Lisa,
yes - you are well read - a sort of intellectual on this forum.

Sorry Bobby

I’m trying to find the topic amongst Drunk’s usual manic meaningless monologues.

Well - now we know that Monk read:

The question now is -

what else did he read?

And yet today the entrenched neoclassical orthodoxy is pauperizing a large number of the population.

#478.

"In 1975 Denis Healey, the Labour government Chancellor, altered macreconomic policy to one placing more emphasis on monetary policy instruments.
Since then investment and productivity in industry and
manufacturing declined and the balance of payments
for goods collapsed.

The aggregate demand paradigm promoted by Keynes
was taken up by monetarists making use of the Quantity Theory of Money identity (QTM), the guiding principle for monetary policy decisions with the objective of steering a path between inflation and deflation in the prices of goods and services.

The net result has been declining real wages and rising wealth of those dealing in asset holdings and asset trading."

...you still "interested in learning"...?

I just love learning as much as I can.

It’s probably why I won a private high school scholarship and got into Arts/Law at Sydney Uni with no trouble.

Anyway .... I had interesting lecturers at Uni who I thought were quite fascinating. Some were/still are well known and highly regarded/respected in the areas of political science.

And yes I was THAT girl who always sat in the middle of the front row constantly asking questions lol.

Some of my questions were cheeky. In fact I was nicknamed Miss Cheeky by the Professor of Political Economy back in the 1990’s BECAUSE my questions to him always had a hidden agenda....mainly to correct him and/or to force him to teach us the full story behind Socialism and Communism Tongue

Oh sigh ....look who’s followed me in here 😔😐😩

Look here NotSoGreat:

I’ve studied Milton Friedman.

I’ve studied John Maynard Keynes.

I’ve studied micro and macroeconomic theory.

And yes my Uni studies in both Political Economy and Government began by looking very closely at Adam Smith’s invisible hand.

Edit : I also studied Marxist economics, Environmental economics and Feminist economics. These subjects were thought provoking and I found them interesting because I finally had some exposure to the non conservative mentality. And I was able to subsequently critique that mentality more effectively.
