'please no, corn father'

>>5850235

Smith's message in this book can be boiled down to "fuck mercantilism and fuck all the institutions that support it."

I also kind of find it funny that Marx's message in Das Capital can be boiled down to "fuck capitalism and fuck all the institutions that support it."

As a matter of fact it seems like all economic philosophy is structured as a combative rejection of the current economic system.

I think that's being a bit too simplistic. Smith liked the Free Market, indeed, and I think he liked our system of organization, he just seemed to deplore the way it was used for consolidation of power. Kind of Randian, in a sense.

In Smith's mind, when it came to money, more separation was better.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's going to transform you, and it certainly won't turn you into a man immediately after reading it. But it's certainly worth a read, regardless. You'll learn or expand of a few things and emotions, I'm sure.

It's not very long, I cleared the thing in about a day. It seems rather childish and poorly written at first but it becomes increasingly better as it progresses.

I'd say the Satanic Verses isn't the best place to start, it's one of the densest books I've ever read. I'd say start with Midnight's Children, it's accessible but a testament to the grandeur of his writing. I've also read Haroun and the Sea of Stories, it's like a children's book of stories but really well done. Read his autobiography as well (written in third person like a douchebag), cause the dude's got a really interesting personal life. Then maybe dive into Satanic verses. Wiki is shill's work.

>As a matter of fact it seems like all economic philosophy is structured as a combative rejection of the current economic system.

Well, that's a bit too simplistic. I think a lot of great works in economics (and in general) build upon or criticize their predecessors. Mercantilism wasn't an established school of economy, it was rather a name given by smith to groups of pamphleteers who shared similar opinions. This so it was easier for him to critique them and also to develop his own ideas.

Marx' is kind of a special case in the history of economics, because he greatly diverges from all other schools of thought. He saw the other economist as not realizing that their thought was limited within the capitalist mode of production.

No, I'd say a large majority of Golden Age economists definitely criticized the policies of nations, tantamount to criticizing the economic systems of control. Adam Smith certainly did not think the powers in control were creating legislation equitably, but rather due to the pressurized forces that consolidated and cemented trade secrets and corporations in the thought of Europe in the first place.

It's not smut if that's what you're looking for. But yeah it's pretty much a rule that Murakami makes a point of including at least two very specific sex scenes in every book. He also seems to be somewhat obsessed with chaste semi-romances between middle aged men and schoolgirls.

I think people just underestimate how valuable corn was to the world for a long period of time. For the longest recorded time, about a millennia, corn was used as a gauge for the value of all other commodities farmed. This is because if your crop was more valuable than corn, then you could purchase your subsistence in corn PLUS additional luxuries like clothing or lodging or ornaments of value. Corn was the gauge for the productivity of mankind, essentially.

So when you read very old texts and it goes on and on about corn, that's why. Corn was, and technically if you want to get down to it, still technically fundamentally IS, the crop from which all value comes from. Essentially the value of silver was regulated by corn for the longest time as well, or the amount of corn silver could purchase determined its value, because of the reasons listed above.
