    In a vacuum I actually agree with brehs.

    Just that the practices don’t translate to real life

    Yeah you're right finance and economy aren't interchangeable terms
    what does he talk about
    I only of him claiming systemic racism isn't a thing whilst not mentioning basic historical facts such as gentrification i'and the 70s - I stopped giving him any time of day right then and there
    Maybe he has some credibility the US but over here no one rates him/recommends him so why would I bother.... (does he have anything of value to say? If yes? What are his theories that every student of economic studies must learn about?)

    can you respond to the edit? You dodged the main question at hand which was... Which sowell theory is worthwhile for you?

    Facts, I agree with this. I’d feel the same way if it was a thread around terrorism & somebody would say “idk ask the Muslims”.

    Okay, why should risk be equal though?

    Beyond “all humans are equal” type jazz, why should risk be equal?

    It doesn’t have to be a perfect 50/50, but my point is there should be some better way to improve your conditions that doesn’t result in you literally gambling based off s*** you can’t control.

    And the issue is, it’s not just you gambling at your own expense, someone is winning on the other side of that. There are things that you should be able to take calculated risks on, but it shouldn’t set you back no matter what because you had s***ty RNG because your parents had s***ty RNG and so on and so forth.

    Everyone wants to work dude, or at least contribute. The problem is some people benefit way too much for exploiting other people’s situations. When you give someone no options, and their only choice is to either stay the same with no marginal improvements, or at some point, take a risk and it potentially be disastrous, imo that’s an issue that needs to be addressed.

    Sorry if that was long winded or was convoluted, I’m tryna stay organized but I’m on my phone rn

    Thread is devolving into lame shots at Synopsis but I would genuinely like to know why there should be equal risk?

    This is horrible logic. First of all they do not NEED the money. Who in their right mind is taking out loans for food and basics? Virtually no one. People take out loans on ventures or assets they believe will add EXCESS value to their lives.

    Also recognize that virtually every institution or business out there has some outstanding debt. A loan does not mean you are impoverished. Aapl, the biggest company ever, has 200MM in outstanding debt, but they are in better financial shape than the vast majority of their creditors.

    It’s simply a tool to allow more liquidity and leverage. Unfortunately most people do not understand it but that is irrelevant to it’s ‘intrinsic morality’. I will agree of course that predatory loan structures like the pre-2008 mortgages are cancerous but that is not representative of what debt/interest at large is.

    Imagine being this out of touch and privileged god damn
