A Discourse on Current Events

This blog intends to see the misconstructions perpetuated by the media and Keynsian economists, to the best of my ability.

Socialists

I go to a relatively open school, in the sense that I hear many different and contrasting ideas every day, and there is no fear of being outcasted because you have a different idea.  While I love this fact, and respect what it lends to our University community, I am frequently bothered by the amount of people even within my own department who think socialism is a viable way for our government to operate.  I dont know how anyone with a strong economics background and a supposed understanding of how things work could actually think that collective ownership of production and produced goods is a good idea.  We daily learn and talk about market setting prices, quantities, etc., and yet these people ignore it all to form their own opinions.  It is not only frustrating, but annoying, counterproductive and stupid.

 

Despite everything I have said, I appreciate that we live in the greatest country in the world, where this is allowed, and encouraged even.  I just wish that everyone realized and appreciated what a good thing we have and have had, despite all of the problems.
