They don’t want to understand. They are in a fantasy, to escape the reality of 2017, where 7.5 billion people have to cooperate and we do that by trans-continental division of labor and automated industry and agriculture, where money is not a material thing but a means to enable demand to be quantified and monitored.

I’m so tired of these 18th century escapees.

It’s the same debate that Jefferson and Hamilton had back then. Jefferson had this idealistic notion of the self-sufficient gentleman farmer being the typical American, while Hamilton had the more realistic idea that urban financial and commercial centers and economic interdependence were the future of the nation.
