I urge you to give it another try, on actual paper.<br />maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-75308471894437629842015-08-14T06:13:13.388-07:002015-08-14T06:13:13.388-07:00Darren - Thanks for the reading list.

I had. But, as you've digested that, it's somewhat important to know that two of them, Marx and Keynes, were completely wrong. Yet, kudos to Marx for pointing out an essential flaw in Capitalism, despite not being able to fix it. And to Keynes, for being the first to embrace the theory of macro economics … an arguable subject which has yet to be mastered by anyone, except for Friedman, who just took Smith's principles and put them on a larger scale … and he earned a Nobel for doing that.maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-32970947339010128432015-08-11T22:04:25.024-07:002015-08-11T22:04:25.024-07:00I ought to give that a try sometime.

At the gym I usually read mysteries, which are easy to follow even while on an elliptical. But someday when I get a smartphone I ought to try Audible...Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14247515387599954817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-21018085879636614362015-08-11T19:43:32.666-07:002015-08-11T19:43:32.666-07:00Get the iheart radio app and listen to Bill Handel...Get the iheart radio app and listen to Bill Handel on KFI AM 640. He is local to southern CA. He is best from 6-7 when he does Handel on the news. KFI is very conservative for California, in fact if you really want to listen to some good radio listen to John & Ken from 4-7 pm. And it's all free on the iheart app. If you are up later, from 7-10 is Tim Conway Jr. I would say most of the radio personalities are libertarian than Republican.Mr. Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282059797251178491noreply@blogger.com
