>If you ask any literate person what one needs to read to understand Communism, they'll answer Karl Marx without any hesitation. But if you ask him what one needs to read to understand Capitalism, he'll surely fumble or will suggest Adam Smith after scratching his headSo what books one needs to read to understand Capitalism, both theoretically and practically ?
start with Capital by Karl Marx
>>24723070Karl Marx
Go to a farmer’s market and lowball cows.
>>24723070A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism by Hans-Hermann Hoppe
>>24723070Marx explains Capitalism pretty well. He just concludes that Capitalism will lead to Communism inevitably. Whether you agree with the conclusion or not, his main body does a proper job of covering Capitalism.
>>24723070Get a job and start a small side business, you'll learn more about capitalism by playing the game than by reading about it.
>>24723070Capitalism doesn't exist. It's a made up boogeyman to demonize unimpeded commerce.
Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy by Joseph Schumpeter
>>24723070If Carl Marx was so clear at explaining communism, there woudnt be 200 years of communist debating his writing to support wildly different interpretations.We dont live under Capitalism anyways, and it has been that way for the better part of the last 10-15 years.
>>24723082Pic related if you're completely retarded.The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham if you're only semiretarded.Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives by John Hull otherwise.Supplement with >>24723082
>>24723338>unimpeded commercewhat industrial society has actually had this
>>24723070Adam Smith is the yin to Marxs yang. Wealth of Nations if the founding document for modern economics, the study of free markets.
>>24723377>We dont live under Capitalism anyways, and it has been that way for the better part of the last 10-15 years.The glory days of free and fair capitalism coincidentally ended just before I personally entered the job market.
>>24723070capitalism is a socialist construct.
>>24723070Fuck you and your gay commie threads.
>>24723070>So what books one needs to read to understand CapitalismNone, capitalism doesn't exist outside of marxists' schizophrenic imagination
>>24723070>books one needs to read to understand Capitalism, both theoretically and practically
Unironically this
Humans have been trading rocks for seashells almost as long as we’ve been walking upright.Capitalism doesn’t need a manual because it’s a natural part of our heritage.
>>24723070Eugen Von Bohm Bawerk - The Positive Theory Of Capital
is there any capitalist's books that cover the "alienation" and make an argument for it being actually good?
>>24723070You wont find any cause its not well understood.Marx is probably a good place to start. Pay attention to his analysis not his suggestions.
>>24723070Look out the windows
>>24723070Capitalism is just a term for natural economic relations in a post-industrial society. It’s not a paradise on earth you’re supposed to construct from the ground up like Marx.
>>24723504I have an amazing job, not only is it full remote, but I dont have to work for more than 3-4 hours a day despite the fact i am payed for 9.Im just aware enough to know most peeps are not enjoying these conditions. I fully belive we have entered some curious type of pseudo-feudal technocracy.
