Marx described the development of capitalism as much as he described anything else. Capital is still fundamental to understanding any modern economic theory. He is one of the fathers of economics and sociology. It's literally impossible to study economics without using at least part of the foundation laid by him.

Which is why it's obvious you've never read or comprehended his writings

Inb4 "I'm doing an MBA and we dont talk about Marx". We know you just parrot what you're told. We don't expect you to understand the foundations.

Ofc it is. That has nothing to do with communism though.

Just because a guy speaks on capitalism, doesn't make what he says about communism, right. LOL

Same answer... kid.

So you think he only wrote about communism?

No more than you think, that ONLY your college required folks to read Communist Manifesto or Das Kaptial. :/


/e Or Galbraith, or John Nash, for that matter.

Nah, they shove John Smith down your throat to extoll the values of capitalism, which didn't even exist in his time, while pretending he wasn't a protocommunist. College instills right wing values more than left.

Definitely in economics departments

They're basically bought by business interests who attach strings to their charitable contributions. They're not allowed to do inconvenient research or the Kochs might pull funding

Not in this day and age they don't.

When professors should be un-biased, it's really sad to see them leaning so far left. It's just as bad as if they leaned too far right. They shouldn't lean any direction.

Oh come now, they barely touch Marx, let alone someone like Proudhon or Oppenheimer or Gumplowicz. When you call for them to be un-biased, you don't realize you are calling for the introduction of actual leftist economists and sociologists who are glaringly absent from the curriculum of any major institution in the United States.

You must be talking about a different United States. LOL


I don't remember the socialist uprising protest involved, (about a year ago), but they had college professors out there protesting and encouraging the kids to protest.
And every time there's a right wing speaker at Berkley they offer grief counseling immediately after.

Today's colleges lean so far left, I'm surprised they haven't fallen down.


/e Hell Yale was just in the news for making it HARDER for the smarter kids (Asian and white) to get in.
