Very interesting! So much of what Minsky says is the basics of what I believe on economics. Wow!

Homicide would break me

Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

Long live Marxism-Leninism--the triumphant banner of Great October, the powerful ideological weapon of the workers of all nations in the struggle against imperialism, for the victory of socialism and communism!  :beer:

 :thumbdn: That is what I think of Marxist-Leninism, that ideology was the cause of tens of millions of deaths and brought so much misery to people in many countries. Lenin was no saint either, everything Stalin did basically was modelled on Lenin's example; including the gulags.

The current economic crisis is not a result of the failure of capitalism. It was due to a lack of proper regulation of the banking sector. That lack of regulation allowed banks to lend credit to people who could not afford it.

National socialism rocks.  :party:

"Come and rally against the bastards, who have betrayed our land,
take the traitors to the gas chamber in the name of national socialism!
Mother Svea we care for with love and respect.
Shiny boots very hard against every 'blatte' family!

To arms against the swines, these cowardly little creeps!
Because the new discipline doesn't accept any namby-pamby.
Now our black clothed stormtroopers finally have been victorius.
Now the swastika flag shall be put up in every Swedish 'folk home'."

Capitalism on its worst day is better than socialism on its best.

When you elect a bunch of people that tell you what to buy, when to buy it, how to buy it and why, you are going to have problems.

The only Communism was only a Dictatorship's that failed the People by not really having a Economy.

That was the down fall of Eastern Europe and Soviet Communism.
