Things I wish I’d learned properly

Growing up in the Deep South in the ‘80s and ‘90s meant three things, lots of time out of the house unsupervised, sports, and an education laden with propaganda and bias… Oh! And sweet tea, of course! One of the important subjects I never learned about was Marxism. I never learned it was more a criticism of capitalism and less of an enemy to America. Much like my education of the Civil War, anything done by Marx was glossed over, misrepresented, or vilified. I truly wish that had been different.
Richard Wolff is an incredible educator and author. I strongly recommend this book. He breaks down the fundamentals and modernizes where relevant. You should read this no matter where you stand economically.
