    Oof, unironically suggesting Sowell? Might as well toss in Prager-U, or DailyWire.

      Ok, so which multiple award-winning, widely respected PhD of Economics would you suggest instead? Or you just against things instead of having any positions of your own, like most other deep-end socialists are?

        For one, I wouldn’t recommend a clown that supports removing the minimum wage, or argues that colonization was a good thing. Recommending a far-right Chicago economist, who is far-right even by Chicago school standards, is laughably absurd.

        I have many positions of my own. Decentralization is key, as is democratization, and this extends to production. I think protecting worker power is key, and I think Imperialism and colonization are terrible. As such, I can’t agree with recommending Sowell.

        All of those are reasons why I’m a leftist and am on Lemmy, rather than a Capitalist site like Reddit.

        Capitalist awards often mean you are bad at the thing they’re commending you for
