Fair enough, Marxism/Syndicalism is actually a topic I spent a lot of time researching.

To the Free-Market, recessions and depressions are seen as "divine intervention" because we lack "personal responsibility." They are somehow "unexplained." Except, they are. Recessions are completely predictable because they're endemic to the idea of capitalism. Any time that a recession is brought up, capitalists constantly repeat "this is just a part of the business cycle, it has to happen every 10 years or so; it is expected." Like what!? No , it is definitely not expected. It's a massive economic upheaval that could be easily rectified if necessary. The USSR had IMMENSE economic growth and they didn't have a serious recession until they moved to a Free-Market system in the early 90s. Only then did they have horrendous economic growth periods. As far as the USSR famines go, they definitely happened, but they occurred FAR less often than in Tsarist Russia. Tsarists had a famine once a year. The USSR had one every decade and that was during INSANE military focus.

The harsh reality is that Economists are paid to lie to the masses that a small group of people controlling all of the means of production. Economists sit in their Ivory Tower and preach literal rhetoric. Like I said; glorified priests.

What books from /lit/ top 100 are accesible? started reading a year ago and have read 20 books in that time, but i still come across with some books that are too complex and heavy for me to follow. I don't have that chart but if someone posted i'd appreciate it
