Let's have a general discussion on economics.
Now, I want this thread to encourage people to bring up their own subjects to discuss instead of just what I start the thread with, but here is my "starting subject":

I had another thing to add to this but i forgot. what are your thoughts
Have you read "Towards a New Socialism" by Paul Cockshott? It is probably the most comprehensive and coherent vision of a socialist system ever made in the modern age.
I'll check it out. Thanks
