Yes Mark Rowley is a piece of work, that's for sure. Chairman Starmer is also a vile tyrant who repeatedly does toxic, divisive speeches riddled with lies. They rule by deception in a fake world perpetuated by the media. The outlook is bleak in the UK.

Economics is about how goods and services are produced. Politics is about how goods and services are distributed. The rules for distribution heavily impact the quantity and quality of goods and services produced, so Political Economy is the subject matter needing the closest attention. But anthropology is the foundation for all of these, and the toughest subject of all, because it involves a level of introspection that is very difficult to achieve for easily self-deceived creatures like humans. It's fun to try, though, and Bill Bonner et al are stimulating influences for making the attempt and keeping the household economy solvent for the journey. Ever since encountering "Family Fortunes" I've found BB's story telling helpful in rethinking my filters on reality.
