Just find a blog that doubles down on your biases and wrap yourself up in a comfy blanket.

Has anyone read Paul Krugman's "The Conscience of a Liberal?"
I picked it up at GoodWill for $0.50
I have some /pol/ and political reading guides i can dump if you want.
I already do that with Moldbug's Unqualified Reservations. I'm looking for books that can modulate the fancy with facts.

How would you describe him then?
he's one of these thinkers that goes beyond the left/right distinction, i would simply describe him as an historian
Imagine how embarrassing it is to have two JRR Tolkien fantasy books as examples of essential reading for your political philosophy and for one of those two to be the silmarillion.
the foremost spaghetti political philosopher
and the second best spaghetti political philosopher

This classic of political science should suffice.
Bumping again to see if anyone has read the Creature from Jekyll Isle?
Seems like a book both right and left could find common ground in, unless its a fraud.
End the fed should be a basic reading in school
I understand your point, but I also think it's useful to get a critical knowledge of what you intuitively believe, not the least to see how the experts argue it and see what holes in your own belief system there may be. If you are vaguely Libertarian because you like Doug Stanhope and think America is doing some shady shit in the Middle East reading actual Libertarians is going to be the best way to grow beyond it.

no it shouldn’t at all, people who don’t understand the mechanics of monetary policy shouldn’t be the one’s who are tasked with calling for its removal especially people who are shilling for the gold standard and fascism
When you think about it, shrinking government is just one more way of oppressing POC by deriving them of their rights. So libertarianism really is fascism.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on why having a mostly independent entity run the economy is a bad thing?
It’s not but the elite can be either intellectual or corrupt. An intellectual aristocracy is what you’re after. Like Athens, but in a wide scale. In representation, we need clarity in our government. The move is for the government to openly become an aristocracy so we can get the intelligentsia in control. It remains to be seen how the break up of current authority is to be effected.
Anyway throughout time, the elite has used tariffs and debasement of the currency as tools to keep the birth rates in poorer classes artificially high so they remain poor and unable to resist authority.
Well you give power to keep you safe that's how society works!! Also check this out:

uh bro you don't know what the federal reserve is if you think it is free from cronyism. the fed backs government misadventures and delivers a profit win or lose. this is why congress/raytheon/grumman/lockheed/boeing have spent trillions blowing up shit all around the world, because the government pays industry and the fed "pays" out to the government. except, like a spending spree on black friday, it would have been wiser to never spend in the first place.
It's not and libertarian don't understand how modern nations or geopolitics actually work
Actually my current read. Pretty well-sourced; I'm liking it so far.
It dampens your ability to change based on evidence.
Absolutely terrible.Truly the Bastiat of our time - in later years I'm sure he'll be hyped to shit.
hey what's wrong with Bastiat nerd explain yourself
Reading The Decline of The West right now, and I have to say that as a good little materialist indoctrinated deeply by one certain beard of long-nosed heritage - I am literally shaking.

just kidding. easy, there, user. please save the jew-bashing for pol. this thread is about book recommendations about economic policy and politics.
His railroad example is remarkably garbage, primarily. And that's a problem, since it's his claim to fame. The conclusion that only state actors engage in harmful activity is either intentionally limited in its considerations or he's an idiot.
Retard. He's a nietzschean/goethean
I'm not jew-bashing, just being >ironic about my stance, and how it seems to me that Spengler holds a pretty strong antithesis against the fundamental leftist works, which is what pretty much defines the right
I noticed.
Those things are undiscussable without kike slamming
Jesus, that is one bad chart.

How is debasement of currency a bad thing? Inflation is the natural result of markets growing and it helps reduce the amount of debt poor people have. The only issue is when wages don't grow alongside inflation, which isn't a federal problem unless you want to consider raising the minimum wage
What does the fed have to do with fiscal policy? Congress spends all the money on that shit, not the fed.
beat you to it ho
>Inflation not bad
What would you say to these counter-points?
>Inflation hurts savers
>The growing money supply mostly goes to those with first/low-interest access
I’m also convinced that inflation keeps wages low/purchasing power but I have to do more research.
Anyways I am not an expert but am trying learn more.
>What does the fed have to do with fiscal policy?
The fed will change monetary policy based on the decisions of congress. This, unsurprisingly, has an influence on the kinds of fiscal policies congress is and is not willing to pursue.
>How is debasement of currency a bad thing?
It lowers the purchasing power of the dollar and alters the accessibility of saving, moving people to spend more in the present.
>inflation is the natural result of markets growing and it helps reduce the amount of debt poor people have
Markets growing lowers the cost of production of growing industries. The price of electronics have drastically dropped over the years for MUCH better products. Poor people's debt comes at a higher rate of interest than the inflation, they'd have less debt if they didn't have to over spend in the first place.
>minimum wage a federal issue
Federal minimum wages
Never can be too much of a good thing.
that's all /pol/ charts
