Reddit meme and I'm not participating in your thread. An affront to the health of the economy is an affront to my ability to eat. There is nothing more important than the economy, not even an extinction level event because I would rather DIE than not have a job and starve and struggle again provided it is just a stagnated temporary society that continues to exist vs a total societal collapse (preferable to unemployment because the idiots who make this meme would also suffer badly) The people who have this THE ECONOMYS NOT IMPORTANT DUDE mindset, have too much money in their accounts and their family. They can wait it out comfortably. If the economy and society collapsed, I would go after them and loot and burn their estates first.

Here you are. The publisher is called Progress Publishers, and I don't think they're knocking about any more, these two copies are from 1980 and from the USSR. I don't know where you'd buy this Brothers Karamazov though because it was my uncle who lives in Poland that sent me them for my birthday, so yeh I've got no idea how you'd actually go about trying to get them, sorry about that.

Three Americans, an Englishman and a Russian. All novelists. Four from the nineteenth century, one from the twentieth. Many were either contemporaries or knew the works of the others. None of them were academics. All of them engaged with popular culture and trends
of their time. Reading these guys is like looking through a window into a specific and near past. Each one can give context to the other authors on the list, and contrxt to contemporary popular memes that they mentioned/criticized/parodied in their fiction.

And that besides, their work is enjoyable and worth reading.

Not lame.
