miscellaneous notes from nowhere

A. Shaikh's "Rethinking Microeconomics" deserves careful study.  Even the opening pages by themselves brush aside a lot of bullshit I've heard recently.

Human beings are complicated.  It is pefectly possible to serve the profit motive, and, so insist on keeping the upper hand over one's employees (if one is, say the owner-manager of a company which supplies home care to the elderly) and, at the same time, be horrified (as a human being) at the thought that one of the employees might steal from and elderly client.
