What's expensive and inflationary is regulatory capture and almost a trillion $ of annual subsidies to big agro. Small farms already feed the majority of the world, and are more productive already. We just need to stop subsidizing big

Yeah, the best way to stop a car isn't to run it into a brick wall. > It’s quite hard to feed the poor by throwing out industrialization and replacing it with lots of labor. This makes food much more expensive. This is untrue. Small

This is true. Corporate tax is just a tax on consumers, workers, or investors, with extra steps.

> Figure 2 makes clear that a key driver was the decline in corporate interest rates—which itself largely reflects the steady, decades-long march down in Treasury yields. This is a direct reference to QE.

Why must everything always be only one thing? Why not both? The decline in taxes and interest rates mechanically account for 1.8% points of the 5.4% net income growth in the SP500 since 2004. This is not in dispute, unless you don't tr

Vonnegut is probably my favorite author, and this is maybe the thing he's written that I like the least.

In the very beginning, "emic" and "etic" are introduced (and defined in plain english inline). They are never used again. The author could have just used the plain english and got on with it.

Good catch. The best parts of many sci-fi shows are lifted directly from Egan, Black mirror's "cookie" concept (copying a consciousness) and Egan's "jewel", for example.

Yep, I'm a believer in the two pronged approach of land value tax replacing all other taxes and reduced zoning restrictions. Henry George had the remedy over a century ago.
