Natural Images in Economic Thought: Markets Read in Tooth and Claw
I forget if I mentioned it:
This guy quoted Veblen, pretended it was from the Girls book, and got a people to say what a bad writer Dunham was. Well, you know, it's true. This is, like, turgid.
And the points he makes, he could make better if he stopped being so . . . .elliptical is the problem? There is a problem.
Anyway, there are kind of three parts to this: (1) What is science? (2) All these criticisms of economists -- both Marshall and Marx -- for missing important details; (3) a horrifying attempt to figure out the racial history of Europeans that is totally wrong and certainly offensive.
I think it's alright but it's insufficiently clear.
