Ignorance can be cured with knowledge. But ignorance plus stubbornness is just stupidity. This "Friedman and Hayek" stuff is rancid, and does nothing but demonstrate that you don't yet have a passing understanding about the history of economics.
Quote:I stopped reading the moment after he wrote "In one important sense, Marxism is a religion". This is a discredited claim usually made by trolls. A pity really, cause he had my attention before that.
"I am confronted by an idea with which I disagree. Therefore, I stop reading, and discredit the author."

Edit: I notice that this is the second sentence of the first chapter. I take it you mean Schumpeter had your attention for all of ten seconds before you found something you disagreed with, and could therefore consign him to the dustbin?
