Has picrel ever actually been refuted or is it just eternal coping and seething from people who disagree politically and economically?

pic rel is start with the logic, americans start with this, it is known
t. stroking out
the wall hurts, and now it starts earlier than ever but with a massive deception
I tried reading this and it was so condescending and smug I decided against it
I do tend to think that when people say that basic supply and demand are wrong in a certain instance, it's because their ideology is forcing them to.
Supply and demand is wrong though. Have you heard of empiricism?
most of this book is just mcdonalds is awesome mcdonalds is awesome libtards are stupid
didn't learn anything about economics from reading it.
confirmed for not having actually read it
i can't pick this up, i can't make it, i don't speak, my writing is poor, and yet they will praise this piece of paper
no you.
he talks a fucking a lot about mcdonalds. also
is right. he presents everything in a ridiculously smug way, and pretends like everything is really really simple, when in reality these are topics intelligent people have been disputing for decades. even if you don't know anything about economics, you should instintively go hold on a minute there's no way things really are this simple on a lot of things in this book.
pretty much a worthless book. study an actual textbook or just read investopedia if you want to learn some econ. for fiscal conservatism, there are probably way better books too.
he talks about mcdonalds five times which is a pretty reasonable number of times to mention the most successful restaurant business in history in a basic economics book
Brainlet detected.
Most things are very simple and only total brainlets allow them to become complicated.
Brainlets can have their small brains twisted into over thinking things that are obvious on their face. Economics is not complicated. Brainlets allow it to be made complicated by people wishing to deceive them.
>a black guy is smug and I'm butthurt
lmao
that's basically the tenor of the whole thing
>STUPID LIBTARDS! RENT CONTROL NEVER WORKS! DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT? IT JUST NEVER WORKS. STUPID LIBERALS DON'T KNOW THIS LOL
all I remember
>bringing up one of the very first topics he talks about
didn't finish it did you
you're a 17 year old turning point usa type of kid and you're very proud of yourself for having read this book.
I didn't finish it either but I'm not pretending to have informed opinions on it
you're an underaged kid who doesn't actually read. don't ever post here again.
>complaining about books you read 30 pages of because they disagree with your politics
>maturity
this is me
. It took much an hour to realize I wasn't going to get a lecture on basic economics at all so much as a partisan rant
any suggestions for non-partisan econ books?
I ended up reading textbooks and it was terrible. No

Rent controls don't work you fucking psychopath
>misses the point
It's not that it doesn't work. It's that it has a different effect.
Economics is about understanding the effect of policies or circumstances. It "works". It's just not in the intended manner.
You can do any number of things. It's not a judgement of correct or not correct. It's a judgement of intended results vs actual results.
>JUST READ MORE UNCLE TOM TOKEN nagger THEORY, CHUD!
If you understand maths economy is just maths with money.
>OP asks for real criticism of a book, not just cope and seethe from the commies
>thread is pure cope and seethe from the commies
It's a pop book so no one is going to waste time "refuting" it but people have wasted a lot of time responding to Milton Friedman (i.e. Sowell not in blackface).
