Self regulating markets eventually fail

Revisado: 02-15-25

Polonyi’s prose is ostentatious and difficult to follow, but if one can get through it, one will see how important this book is. He explains how the classical “liberal” economic and political system failed in the late 19th and early 20th century. He describes how an attempt at creating a self regulating market may only be done by making society subservient to the market system. The political economies based on self interest lead to fascism or socialism, as society tries to rescue itself from the ravages of the market. As the neoliberal order of our current time collapses, the ideas in this book might be worth a look.

A more general theory on wealth and poverty

Revisado: 11-10-24

I really enjoyed hearing a new and much more universal theory on why some countries are poor and some are rich

This is the best book about the 20th century political economy I have ever read, or listened to. It is complete, insightful, and ties things together in a way I had not considered before.

Excellent Book

Revisado: 08-01-22

Peter Zeihan has created an incredible explanation of what is happening in the world, and more importantly, what will happen. He uses the intersection of geography, and demographics to describe how the previous world order was set up, and why. He then goes on to explain how it is decaying, and what the results will be. This is one of the most useful books I have listened to in the last several years. The book is read by the author, and I quite enjoyed listening. In fact I found it difficult to stop.
