#Reading this #mystery but honestly don't understand the hype about this too-long, often rambling, unfocused book told from seven perspectives over a few decades. The gender and rich-poor stereotypes and #policing to protect capital are tiresome especially in these times of extreme #inequality and exploitation.

''Medicine... the perfect market. Patients cannot judge treatment quality... qualified to do so. Decisions are made urgently... often emotional. Illness cannot be delayed... it's there right in front of us, affecting us, or our loved ones. And doctors hold trusted authority, but they and the services that they can deliver are in restricted supply. That combination creates enormous pricing power for Big Pharma, even within the NHS"

Let kids eat cake, not go to prison. Here's a great program that shows how it's done, which no doubt costs less than the 1 million per child per year to be in prison in Australia.

Political parties or political persons don't want to be blamed for people's poverty? Then, there is no need to establish a centralised government in the first place. No need to enforce the Malaysian Ringgit on everyone initially. No need to spread propaganda that we're lazy. We should return to mutual aid.

I've got a love-hate relationship with discovering classic texts.
The love is, of course, the content; the hate is that it's been yet unexplored.

Clara Mattei: capitalism is not natural - it’s enforced
"Clara Mattei is an author and professor of economics whose work explores how economic ideas become tools of power, shaping policy while masking the political decisions beneath.
Her new book, Escape from Capitalism, argues that many of the problems that we see as inevitable - poverty, unemployment, inflation - are built into the system and shored up by models and theories designed to convince us that there is no alternative.
On this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Mattei about whether there is an alternative to capitalism."
