A look back at the bestselling book franchise that taught people to “think like economists,” by which it meant “think cynically and amorally.”

I can only really speak from experience. I started out washing dishes at a restaurant and bottling beer at a factory. I saved up enough to buy a computer and learned to code. I woke up early every morning and studied hard to get where I am. now I make a really good living and am still working really hard because I am passionate about the work I do. I feel like I'm being robbed when I'm forced to take care of others that didn't work as hard as I did to get where I am today. I totally agree that there are some people that work hard and are not paid well while some people are over paid and that isn't cool. Capitalists should take care of the people that make them wealthy if they want to hold on to their wealth.

Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.


Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.
