Hearing that the U of Chicago cuts to the humanities come from the university taking out loads of debt to expand over the past two decades and being unable pay the interest. The problem with the Chicago School of Economics is that eventually you run out of other people's money?

This day in history. Business as usual in the American Empire.

Positing the economy as a demand-led, inherently unstable system constrained not by a static productive capacity but by its own structural contradictions, offers a far more accurate understanding of macroeconomic dynamics. yours truly, Utah Vanguard utahvanguard.medium.com/economic-growt…
