He even does the meme of saying workers are perfectly free to sign a legal work contract in a capitalist economy where the only alternative to that is that you're free to starve like a dog. The more I keep reading this the more I'm getting pissed off, he even talks about how supply and demand are things purely controlled by individuals wants and needs and not based off of monopoly capital in it's sole drive to increase profits will shape the supply and demand of the market as it sees fit by either cutting back supply when there is too much surplus in order to increase profits by increasing scarcity and inversely increasing production when the scarcity is high enough for record profits to be made meeting it until that cycle starts over.
i'm gonna stop reading this before i get too mad to sleep

Speaking of, it is a good thing TVs were invented when they were, because otherwise who knows what the aetheric trend of buying TVs would have manifested as. No, the trend was not instigated at all by a change in supply.
