Economic Reductionism is Good
Youtube ^ | fringeelements

fringeelements | July 08, 2010 The fashion is to say "economics can't explain all political issues" - which is an absurd idea based on a simplistic view of economics. Economics can explain all purposeful action toward a given goal.

What of these goals and how do they come about? That's the realm of psychology. But beyond that, economic reductionism FTW. No need to speak of "social forces" independent of economics as if King Ludd is a giant cell and men are his organelles.

Solving problems by breaking them down into individual actors... is good.

Before taking anything this guy has to say too seriously, first take a look at his “self portrait.”

Whatever his economic theories might be, they don’t seem to enable him to avail himself of good grooming.

You mean IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID was just a meaningless slogan that happened to help win the election for the grifters?

I don’t see an image of himself. What do you mean by good grooming?

It seems that in the intervening hours between our posts, the “fringeelements” guy changed the lead video on his channel.

The one that’s up there now is completely different than what I saw earlier.

It appeared to be an image on himself. Let’s just say he has a visage and demeanor best suited for radio.

Or print.

Freepers need to look at the videos on his channel. Hes a smart kid. Probably homeschooled.

That’s not the same image that was on the earlier video.

No. It was on his own channel.

Even if hes not the best looking he makes good arguments against socialism (liberalism) and gov. interference in the free market.
