nice, more photos from The Collectors. also do you people just go down the /lit/ laundry list of classics? is there a reason some of you have russian doorstoppers next to english poetry next to the complete works of plato next to german philosophy? or do you just shop the popular titles and youll "get to them eventually". seriously. get a fucking clue

Am I the only one that donates books?

Like I keep the rare few that I might read again. But there are only like maybe five or six books that I know I will keep reading many more times. Everything else get's cleared out every year and sent to prisons/libraries/book drives

>>17839492
Anna Karenina is bigger than Don Kichote? I can't believe that.

To the contrary - I borrow books and buy just the classics that I know are needed, like Aristotle or Tocqueville.

I'll donate my books when I die

marx is not economics

anyone who studied econ at a college level or higher is laughing at you.

equivalent of studying haitian voodoo to learn about medicine

>>17841726
Right, I mean they'll respond by saying it's mathematical too, which then you can just roll around on the ground laughing at while there's people like Marschak, Aumann, or Von Neumann writing books on economics.

>>17839492

>>17842083
We all know what happened.

>>17841726
I mean that is true Marx is not economics but not in your retard way of thinking.

>>17843656
So he is worthless and only provides grand narratives for retards, got it.

>>17843664
nope. he has provided one of the best critiques of all time and his name will echo throughout history. keep coping.

>>17835770
Nice toes

>>17839470
>>he fell for the evola meme
I don’t actually like evola or guenon that much, for what it’s worth. They have some interesting ideas, but that’s most on the criticism end. Perennialism is a bit cringe honestly.

imagine you meet a physicist at a coffee shop to talk about astronomy

tons of things to discuss like quantum mechanics, transition from newtonian physics to einstein theory of relativity, newer developments that challenge that theory, etc. you get the idea

now imagine the look on his face when all you want to talk about is Plato/Aristotle's geocentric model and how the Sun actually revolves around the earth

that is essentially how marxist sound to any real economist

>>17846019
What have you read by Marx? What do you know about Marx?

>>17846064
I'm not that anon, but I have read Capital. Know your enemy.

>>17846064

third volume of capital and the manifesto

I encourage you to read an econ textbook or speak with a graduate or phd econ student. Marx is a non-topic. His ideas might have been interesting to think about a hundred years ago. Perhaps there were debates on the ideas of adam smith and marx, and then keynes. But the econ world has long since moved on.

In the context of the astronomy example, why would a modern physicist even talk about plato's geocentric model aside from "it was an interesting idea but ultimately didn't pan out". Even asking them to speak on copernicus sun centered model would be weird as there are newer, more refined models to work with (this would be like discussing adam smith or keynes with a modern economist when there is friedman, fama, etc.). It's not the greatest example to be fair but I am trying to paint you a picture of how a modern economist would approach this topic

>>17844680
Shut up fat

You are living proof that Marxism is a cult and religion. jesus christ, get a life.

>>17846735
I don't get it when rightists call Marxism a religion (it's not) or other things they don't like (science). Don't they like religion first of all? When did religion become something negative for them?

This is obsession level hoarding.

>>17831274
Read this, OP.

>>17841726
I’m a bachelor on business and economics and I’m not laughing at myself. Yeah I know it’s mostly math and statistics but only a dogmatic person would stick to the numeric part of their studies. I remember going over anthropology and psychology to explain and develop models.
Thinking social and political themes are far from economics and finances is the worst mistake anyone can commit.

>>17847061

that died a death harder than communism lol

>>17847115
It died a political death, not in theory. And it did so after everyone became rich through it. +it certainly isn't as dead as communism.

>>17836341
Implying this faggot actually read of any of this

>>17831288
>cant read

>>17847097

you're absolutely right. Just look at how the behavioralists have taken the field of study by storm. To me it is one of the most interesting fields of economics right now.

I don't mean to come across as one of those cope econ guys who try way too hard to make it a hard science. Nor am I discounting the role of psychology and anthropology in helping to develop more comprehensive economic models.

I have never met a marxist or seen a thread on this board about marx that had anything meaningful to say about economics. Without knowing the history of econ as a field of study, they are stuck debating and critiquing ideas that have been proven false (i use the term lightly) or inaccurate for decades.

My main guitar is a Yamaha Sa-15, then I have two epiphone acoustics and a Tokai turned into an ostrich.

i'm afraid to show my bookshelf because it has warhammer books since i work for the company and like to keep current on the stories and stuff like that and i don't want to be called a pleb for reading shitty fiction

>>17844484
Godt meme, jeg har læst alle bøgerne på reolen.

Warhammer is based though

We would call you a pleb either way but those books would at least get you a few 'based'.

Is the Deng Xiaoping book interesting?
I've been thinking on reading about him and his economic thought.

>>17849756
I havent read it for a few years and I think that theres an Ezra vogel book thats more recommended, the chapters on his early life in the Pantsov book are interesting but the bulk of the rest focuses on mao doing stuff while deng is constantly getting cucked by him and just taking it. I dont really think this book did enough to develop an image of his character and as a historical narrative didnt focus enough on what distinguished him politically. for the most part it is just a chronicle of his life, you wont learn much about his economic thought with this one

>>17849607
True shit. Rent is 56% of my expenses and food is 18%, transport is 10%, utilities are another 5%. Only 11% of the money I spend is for leisure/travel/education/health.
