Capitalism is as much as fairy tale as socialism. Both are tools of the oligarchy.

Friend currently reading it says so far it's great for the data but he still hedges against using "marxism"

Wait Gukbe, how did u get this on ur iPad?
― très hip (Treeship), Monday, 28 April 2014 01:04 (ten years ago) link
did you get yours?
anyway, buy it on the kindle store in a browser and then download the kindle app if it's not on the ibookstore and you want a digital copy. i got this one in paper via amazon, but i'm reading another book in the kindle app on my ipad right now

surprised that the ibookstore wouldn't have it, but they don't always stock the same shit. i still use the kindle app most of the time tho anyway

yeah, i don't see it there. kindle is the way to go. they own a much larger chunk of the ebook market, and it isn't too surprising publishers would be more concerned with getting their wares up there. the ibookstore is also limited to ios devices, while the entire kindle deal is more platform agnostic, although i think you're shit outta luck if you have a non-kindle fire android device.

I drunkenly berated Peter Klein on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia last year when I was there for a wedding and he was there for a Mises Institute conference. Nice guy, actually. Still, lol @ austiran school response: http://organizationsandmarkets.com/2014/04/23/notes-on-inequality/
