economy
I thought Basuh Baju is a smart,anti-textbook guy.He is THE TEXTBOOK GUY.
"bukan semua rakyat tahu pasal ekonomi"
Economy is human activities looking for food and warmth.Economy is when people manage their material needs.Economy in Greek means "household management".
I think a housewife knows better about economy than old neo-liberal fuckers who yack yack yack in the economic forums.
His mindset is so textbook that for him,to understands economy,you have to buy Milton Friedman or John Keynes book.Hey,to understands economy,you have to buy vegetables!
So-textbooky.Kiddo.
He is a 20 year old lad still trying to figure out which ideology or thinking to guide him..
Nami told me he had the impression at first that BB had Marxist leanings,due to his earlier writings..
Based on the lad's entries this past week,it smells of Mahathir's influence..heck,he just attented one of Mahathir's lecture series..
on economics,the ideas of the likes of Maiselman,Friedman,Keynes,Stigleretc are gradually losing touch..people are dusting up the works of Marx and Lange..
typo-Stigler,etc
tambah lagi- it's sad most anak2 muda who 'try to think' are perpetually stuck with either 2 main influences that shape their thinking-Mahathir Mohamad or Anwar Ibrahim..you try to present another alternative thinking and they would rubbish it..even those who seem to have broken away from this proses pembodohan(the PR diehards) might still be stuck in the old mindset..its like shit in a different form,but it's still shit..
Johan-Lange or Engel?
confuseeee.
Well it's clear that he embrace Mahathirism.But as a Marxist,all you need to do is to argue about Mahathirism and make sure he re-boot his mindset.
I was a liberalist before,but after a long arguement with Nami(4 or 5 years,I think so),I finally dismissed liberal and embrace socialism.
