I, for one, am looking forward to the nuanced, subtle discussion that will ensue here.
For the love of all that is holy, please don't comment unless you've read the article and want to discuss what it is trying to say.

- faizshah 8y agoI just don't understand why people think they can refute an argument that's been fleshed out into a book by writing a couple offhand sentences in response to a long form article on the book. Presumably the author would address popularly held assumptions to the contrary of his provocative argument in the book.
- isaiahg 8y agoI wish there was more data on the subject of alternatives to capitalism to make comparisons. Really it's most likely any conclusion is in vain with only half of the picture. The best we have is china and the soviet union and those are faulty sources at best considering none of them actually had a socialist economy. Any other systems come from small societies without known large nation scale examples. Maybe democracy is a fragile construction at its core or maybe all political systems have an inherent fragility to them.
