1923....some old wisdom...

[Hk]

This is a music board....damn, I keep forgetting...

JMJ, quit that cheezie talk and get with this fella.....

Thorstein Veblen, Americas best Economist....cirrca 1923.....(do take notes)

"Now, This red line of cleavage, in material interest and in sentiment, runs not between those who own something and those who own nothing, as has habitually been set out in the formulas of the doctrinaires, but between" PAY ATTENTION...."those who own more than they personally can use and those who have urgent use for more than they own".

Deeper than deep Hk.

Please allow me to tack a link onto your deft share.

Thanks....I got the book....

Someone better wake these people up, WE're
running out of time.

The fact is that intellectuals of today
dont even measure up to the soles of them dudes
back then......that being said, even Veblen was
light compared with Ghazzali, Rumi, Ibn Khaldun and others.....(but, with all the "red-scare" happening, I tried to keep it within the American borders).....for you English cats...H.G. Wells is comparable.....Heavy as an anchor....

I gotta get back to work!
