Well, I wouldnt belittle you for getting your economic education, the bible, Qur'an and others have discussed some economic matters; though, it may be advisable to consult one of the best economic textbooks regarding economic matters.

I did, and it’s obvious if you read it that it says price fixing works. It is a lesson that becomes clear when you read the book cover to cover

You know, maybe some people arent cut out for economics, but, the spirit of rothbard compels me, economic education is for the masses so I will provide a quote from chapter 2, prices and cost subsection.

"While you may put whatever prices you wish on the goods and services you provide, those prices will become economic realities only if others are willing to pay them, and that depends not on whatever prices you have chosen, but on how much consumers want what you offer, and on what other producers charge for the same goods and services."

So, maybe the 6th edition could be better equipped for ctrl+f economists, with all the communist propaganda words indexed to subsections.

We both agree that price fixing does not need to be mentioned in a book for that book to be clearly obvious in its position on it, and also that any book that mentions anything tangential to price fixing can contain an immutable and unarguable truth about it that becomes apparent only to those with the intellectual capacity to glean its hidden meanings.

I’m not really sure why you would impugn my mind for economics but perhaps since “read a book” qualifies as an argument, I might recommend that you try out The Living Bible? It is written in a plain English for those that may struggle with the vocabulary of the King James Version. There is no shame in not being able to get the clear and obvious message here, but thankfully the Good Book has versions for every level of reader :)

Oh, my bad, I assumed you were trying to be belligerent on basic economics not containing this information. Id actually be happy to adopt just about any world religions economic regulation, as opposed to what we have today.

We’re not discussing religious economics writ large. We’re discussing your book’s position on price fixing and my much more popular book’s position on price fixing.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts after reading it!
