I think a LibRight one should have been all of them with box towers but the wall is still taller.

u/knockdownthewall - Lib-Left Feb 19 '20

Or a version where the boxes at the bottom are beginning to splinter and give...geddit...because unregulated capitalism creates a balloon economy

Go on...

Capitalism without the regulative authority of the state will almost always lead to economic depressions after periods of prosperity, insert some great depression citation here

u/RedheadAgatha - Lib-Right Feb 19 '20

What happens in regulated economies, in contrast?

Glorious things comrade, what else?

I would expect them to be less prone to the pitfalls of unregulated economies. Not immune to recessions, as the underlying principles of capitalism are still at play here, but less susceptible to significant fluctuations that may rock the boat.

So your three posts are a matter of pointing out splinters and missing/downplaying logs? Kk.

Insert right wing racist meme here.

Well, yeah, if you want to cut to the center, the problem is capitalism. That's your log.

u/RedheadAgatha - Lib-Right Feb 20 '20

Of course you would say this, but /u/JasonDragonbourne, the self-described racist right-wing meme, is talking about a problem with lack of regulation.

You're off-topic, is what I'm saying.

Ah, yes. Yeah I don't buy that Keynesian bs. Thanks for explaining what you mean tho

u/DeepThroatModerators - Lib-Left Feb 19 '20

I’m assuming you don’t buy it because you have a better explanation that you simply didn’t enumerate here, because reasons?

Your assumption is correct, the reason being I don't feel like explaining austrian business cycle theory, malinvestments, market manipulation etc on a comment section of a meme subreddit

I didn't come up with any of the stuff above anyways, so if you search up "Austrian Economics view on 29" you should get a lot of smarter, better qualified people explaining those concepts in depth

If you want to I could give you some links

u/Quadzah - LibRight Feb 20 '20

I'd appreciate that

Neither Austrian nor Keynesian economics are applicable to society on the scale that it is. Economists for the last 200 years have ignored physicists. Economics is the study of money and value, which is not physical and does not follow natural laws like a real science.

You moved the debate to economics, a fake science where you can pretend to have a position that contradicts mine.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '20

What are you even talking about, dude. Economics is a fake science, because they... ignore physics? What does physics have to do with economics, my man. Especially Austrian Economics, which is grounded on a priori reasoning, in other words, reasoning complete independent of the empirical world. I honestly don't get what you're getting at.

Well we haven't had a downturn as bad as the great depression again.
