i wonder if when the government gave the land to the lumber barons (they still own it), or when the government gave the millions of acres of land to the railroad baron,9they still own it)or when the government built thousands of miles of interstate hiways , thereby subsidizing the trucking industry, we could have called it government interference ... Read Morein the "free parket" trust me on this. when the rich are subsidized there is never a work mentioned about interference. a big laugh at kenneth artz. i suppose he is one of those people who listen to RL and parrot every thing he says.

Yeah, let's just completely ignore that lack of regulation is exactly what got us into this mess. It is appalling hilarious that people are still actually proposing the cause of the problem as its own solution! What a joke. I can't figure out if the author is just ignorant or actually dishonest.

Your assertion about the iconic status of Marx in academia might have been true forty years ago. Now, not so much. Try to be serious instead of merely ideological.
