Just started skimming it. Jesus Christ it's worse than I thought. Economists are like at the stage where they've discovered mass... Look, if you pour water into a cup it doesn't matter what shape the cup is it weighs the same if it has the same volume... That people were still fundamentally sure that the concept of money was tied to gold as recently as the 60s is wild!
