I wonder whether the author discussed the horrors of 19 century capitalism, since he despises “tariff barriers, building regulations and confiscatory taxes”.

    I wonder why you post this here. You read the title, haven’t read the book and immediately go ahead and critisize it. What is your mission?

    Have you considered the possibility that the book might actually present some arguments that might convince you? Just like that other book you like? You can’t know that if you haven’t even read it.

      I’ve read the title and skimmed the wiki article on it. I found it surprising, and I posted it in the same way as some people post memes. Do you also ask people who post meme or shitpost “did you investigated all aspects of this problem?” or “have you researched enough to post this meme?”

      The rule of this community is “Be Nice”, not “read the whole book, think through, and study it diligently”.
