I find this the most compelling point of BWs thought: That economics is race. That's all it is.
Yet the entire economic debate across the world can't come to grips with it. And there is no area of our life where orthodoxy so completely shields the light.
The straightjacket of orthodoxy is cinched tight, as tight as can be. There was never a slave society in all history as buttoned up.
That's why this notion that economics and race is the same thing is so revolutionary.
In economic thought, we are way ahead of everybody else, we have busted through the whole darned thing, this nonsense of contemporary economics.
If you can't see the advantage of it, there's something wrong with you.

Dave, you are right, with this caveat:
A monkey or a Mommy Professor can destroy what he cannot build. Any moron can kill the most creative person in the world. Andrew Young and the Poverty Law Center and minorities can grow rich with threats.
The real miracle of Communism was that it managed to keep a third of the world's WHITE population in upper third world poverty for so many decades while the rest of the white world, and even Japan, Taiwan and South Korea flourished. With titanic effort, the white race can be held back, but not forever.
But your basic point is dead accurate. All those economic equations AFKAN mentioned today factor in everything BUT SKIN COLOR. Every discussion of Great Civilization factors in every bit of information but one: Everywhere a Great Civilization fell and STAYED down, the people of that former Great Civilization are now BROWN.
I can't explain it, but no one can see the real world if he has to instantly EXPLAIN what he OBSERVES. Science is based on OBSERVING AND THEN EXPLAINING. Wordism insists that all things be explained within The Great Book BEFORE it can be observed.
So Communism, as a form of Wordism, didn't WORK. And that was its fatal weakness.
