Multiculturalism vs Re-distribution
Multiculturalism will destroy the cohesion that makes people welcome redistributive societies. The future is voluntary mutual aid societies. Membership to a society will pick the slack where the idea of nationhood declines.

Reasons the Austrians had it wrong:
1. They’re intellectually invested in their beliefs. (confirmation bias)
2. They’re selling gold.
3. They supported by Russia. (like Zero Hedge)
The Austrians will be proven right . . . in the long run.

So apparently when you raise the price of something you decrease demand for it. If only there were a field of study around where you could learn such things before you make such decisions.
Detroit has the least inequality!
The irony here is that policies that encourage the rich to leave your city (or to not live there in the first place) invariably reduce measured inequality. It’s worth noting that Detroit has one of the lowest levels of measured inequality of any large city in the United States.

How British universities spread misery around the world From Nehru’s India to Varoufakis’s Greece
Outside the STEM disciplines, universities are little more than indoctrination centers for economic Marxism, and cultural Marxism. Burn them down. They’ve caused enough death and destruction in the world.
So farewell, Yanis Varoufakis. You used to be Greece’s finance minister. Then you resigned, or were you sacked? You took control of the Greek economy six months ago when it was growing. Yes, honestly! Growth last year ran at 0.8 per cent, with forecasts of 3 per cent this year. The government had a primary budget surplus. Unemployment was falling. Until you came along.
Varoufakis was a product of British universities. He read economics at Essex and mathematical statistics at Birmingham, returning to Essex to do a PhD in economics. With the benefit of his British university education he returned to Greece and, during his short time in office, obliterated the nascent recovery. The economy is now expected to contract by 4 per cent this year — an amazing transformation. Greece’s debt burden has increased by tens of billions and many people have emigrated.
But Varoufakis is not alone. Plenty of other visitors to our universities have been influenced by the teaching here and returned to their countries to wreak havoc.
