    Maybe you’ll change your mind one day and understand why the world we live in is the way we live in.

    This from the person who is spouting econ 101 nonsense.

      You haven’t presented a valid argument. 2+2 is simple, but it works. When someone says the 2+2=10^50, and money falls from the sky, and everyone being lazy leads to growth, I’ll ask them to justify.

      Take a step back and evaluate your ego.

        Unfortunately in the case of econ 101, you are taught that 2+2=5 most modern econ is neoclassical, which means operating on pre-marx economics and just ignoring marxist critiques of the political economy.

        and money falls from the sky, and everyone being lazy leads to growth, I’ll ask them to justify.

        Thats a mighty strawman you invented. Workers are going to do the bare minimum to not get fired when it literally doesn’t matter how much they work, their income will be the same. When workers are invested in an organization, they do more work.
