wasn't The Man Who Was Thursday, by G.K. Chesterton full of euphemisms? Might be one starting point. Also the analysis of film, particularly some of the more subversive propaganda elements done by Devon Stack (Blackpilled) and even the Matrix trilogy analysis floating around on /pol/ might give you some ideas for what you want to do.

One thing I have learnt - the best way to become a better writer is to read very widely.

>His writings don't make any economic sense to me either. Like does he even mention supply and demand or price systems in his work?
Yes, but Marx's work could be considered an extension of Ricardo and Smith's work on the source of value and how that plays into economics. He isn't as concerned with specific economic movement as he is with how new value is introduced and how the relationship through which it is introduced affects the development of history.

Why the fuck would an economist like Marx be mentioned in an undergrad economics degree? If you think that whether or not a contributor to a field is relevant to said field is based in whether or not you'll hear about them in your undergraduate classes you're the undergrad graduate students and beyond make fun of.
Marx's calculations have little to do with number crunching for predicting specific movements of capitalism, they have to do with the philosophical and theoretical bases of capitalism. This is like saying a mathematician is irrelevant simply because you don't necessarily delve into their most fundamental mathematical/philosophical proofs which build the basis the rest of math sits upon in undergrad.

Alright /lit/erati having recently read Plato's Symposium I have to ask if anyone knows of any other books that explore love and emotional experience in a similar vein? It doesn't have to be as gay though.
