Hello /lit/ I don't usually post here, so please, no memeing.

As a Trump supporter you should read every book you can get your hands on to gain some common sense. I would suggest somethink at kindergarten level because its easier to read with all the pictures ;)

Thomas Piketty spent an astounding amount of effort and time to prove to people something most educated people took for granted which is that Capitalism by the nature of its system breeds inequality and conglomeration.

If that isn't already basic assumption of yours then yes I do recommend it

>>8710207
Read Capital by Marx not whatever crap picketty puts out

>>8710207
>as a Trump voter
Yes, if you were one of the angry people from the rust belt who had their wealth removed from them with their jobs.
>and a believer in meme magic
no, you would call it communist and shut your ears because it doesnt reinforce your world view.

this book was such a FOTM lmao

>Immanuel Kant spent an astounding amount of effort and time to prove to people something most educated people take for granted which is that you shouldn't do to others, what you wouldn't have them do to you

>Hegel spent an astounding amount of effort and time to prove to people something most educated people take for granted which is that you can learn from listening even to people you don't agree with

>Augustine spent an astounding amount of effort and time to prove to people something most educated people take for granted which is that humans are morally responsible for their actions

>Friedrich Nietzsche spent an astounding amount of effort and time to prove to people something most educated people take for granted which is that culture can take place of religion

And somehow it's still worth reading them.

It's actually a non-standard view of modern economics, he's saying now that a rent seeking component has popped back up within the last 10 years. So in fact most educated people will think of the economy very differently.

>>8710434
Yeah but the standard view of modern economics is total bullshit so go figure

>>8710207
If you believe in Trumps trickle down policy of economics then you'll be shook as how much Piketty disdains for that sort of policy. Why? because it creates greater inequality and just lines the pockets of greedy nihilistic businessmen.

Chris Hitchens was at his best when he was a marxist.
Read the book OP, it's good to have some economic theory under your belt, you write like a big cunt though.

>>8710486
Trump's economics are far from Reagan's
it's a reddit tier post (of course his second post is a picture of Christopher Hitchens)
he's a 110-120 IQ pseud

>>8710496
