Capitalism is good when: (ln(a)/ln(b))*((1+i)^(n/-π^rt)) + (log(log(log(c)))*sqrt(𝜕c/𝜕b)) + b^3-a^3 +(𝜆sqrt(N) * ∫U(x) And it can be bad when: sqrt(x)+log(y)sin(cot(b))+𝜆*z)ln(ln(ln(a))) -  ∑∞ x^n/n! + ∮F *dr C - economists, probably

"The Swiss voted for bigger pensions. For it to pass, they must now explicitly vote again the higher taxes to fund it."
I'm not a big fan of referendum but I must admit forcing citizens to vote on a tradeoff is a vast improvement over most political debates The Swiss voted for bigger pensions For it to pass, they must now explicitly vote again the higher taxes to fund it

unlike 1848, 1865, 1873, 1893, 1896, 1907, 1911, 1915, 1917, 1919, 1929, 1931, 1939, 1945, 1949, 1956, 1968, 1971, 1973, 1975, 1979, 1982, 1987, 1991, 1999, 2001, 2008, 2011, or 2020 this set of crises will be terminal for capital. 178 years of crisis theory with little to show

A bunch of Nobel Prize-winning economists have endorsed California's proposed billionaire wealth tax. I can't oppose them on authority. But I know some academics who can.

Fractional reserve banking has done more for free markets than all the economists at the Mises Institute combined ever could
The Austrian School is in a bizarre position where it thinks one of the most important inventions of capitalism is immoral and fraudulent.
