Daniel Hannan: Nothing is more moral than the market

I agree with you regarding LTV, Marx really wasn't much of an economist, but many other concepts are pretty much self evident - Cultural hegemony / Marxist dialectics - and important if you want to understand the world we live in. I take it that you're not ready for that though and prefer a more tribalistic method of comprehending reality? A repetition based approach perhaps?

"Cultural Marxism" is simply the modern fairy tales we are told of the European nations being evil and cruel

A fairy tale requires a story teller. And seeing as cultural Marxism has nothing to do with Marxism my guess would be that it's a purely conservative creation stemming from a conflict between christian cultural values and years of exposure to anti-communist propaganda.

Sorry what? Are you trying to write with the mysticism of Nietzche or something?

You didn't really understand what I meant did you?

Reflexivity:

A reflexive relationship is bidirectional with both the cause and the effect affecting one another in a relationship in which neither can be assigned as causes or effects.

Laissez Faire economics has the best track-record of producing extremely fast growth

I agree, but it also leads to periodic breakdowns and conflict. And in both situations it is usually those with that benefit least from the prevailing orthodoxy that take the burden.

Let me leave you with something to ponder:

Capitalism provides very powerful motivations for economic activity because it associates economic motivations so closely with self-interest. But this same feature, which is a source of strength in providing economic motivation through the pursuit of profits, is also a source of weakness owing to the fact that so self-centered a motivation contributes very readily to a loss of economic coordination. Each individual, just because he is so powerfully motivated by self-interest, easily loses sight of the role which his own activities play in the economic system as a whole, and tends to act as if his activities were the whole, with inevitable injury to that whole.
