Not Op. Basic Economics is terrific. It is a non-partisan introduction to economic thinking, that is philosophical rather than technical (no graphs, equations, etc).

His other books obviously take a more conservative + contrarian route which is a great if that is your cup of tea.

you said this after your first statement which tells that you are making this statement to conjure up another dimension of defense of your so called "sad" notion of reality. conservatism = simplicity and if it doesn't no one can fucking tell me what does.

Bernie Sanders thinks that taking money from the rich and giving it to poor people will fix the economy. He does not know that if you took 100% of the money from everyone that has over a million dollars it would barely be a trillion dollars. Not even enough to pay off all the student loan debt in our country, let alone the 20 trillion we owe. He also thinks healthcare is a right. He is a moron.

Reactionary ideas can include abolition or overhaul of institutions from previous reforms that are considered harmful, which in itself would require a reform. Or simply reverting back to an earlier state of governance if under the guise of "progress" the system has changed into something that's unsustainable.
