Holy lord, are you embarassing yourself. Are you unaware that "democracy" and "free market capitalism" are entirely intertwined? (I note that you haven't even bothered to identify your preferred alternative.) Since Malcolm Gladwell popularized the genre in the 1990s, and Freakonomics exploded onto the best-seller lists a few years later, hundreds of books of this type have been released. I'm glad you've read one of them, although you seem unaware of the gentleman's given name. (It's Morgan, by the way. Morgan Housel.) Similarly, you repeatedly reference "Vablen Goods", which also does you no favors, as the term is "Veblen", not "Vablen". Anyway, you have no basis for which to treat Morgan Housel as some of deity, when the guy wrote a book a whopping two years ago, and the book - hardly a bestseller - has both its fans and detractors, among the few people who have read it. Your only reference point is that you are among that group, and are seemingly unaware of anything else. Starting, of course, with the legendary Thomas Sowell, who has sold 100,000x as many books as Mr. Hausel has, and whom you falsely claim has been disproven, despite your utter ignorance of the man's beliefs, and your absolute inability to provide a scintilla of evidence for your remarkable claim, despite being given ample opportunity to do so.
Now, being the fool that you are, you will again respond with childish comments, including grade school nicknames, as some sort of substitute for knowledge or logic. You are fooling no one, of course, except yourself - if that. But with nowhere else to go, I have no doubt you will keep digging yourself further into a hole. Go right ahead.

Yup, I figured you'd further embarass yourself, and you didn't disappoint. Twisting or misunderstanding my point (not sure which is worse), refusing to accept responsibility for your actions, lying about the nickname calling, and all while failing to articulate an opinion on economic worldview, while simultaneously refusing to admit that you lied when you called Sowell disproven. Instead you misdirect by attacking my in-class teaching skills, of which I can happily say you know nothing. And all because you were so damn proud of yourself that you actually read a book which no one heard of. Oh, well. A loser you are, and a loser you will remain. Your choice, your loss. I feel bad for your family.

Instead your entire worldview is based around the only book you've ever read in your life, and for which you have no context whatsoever.
