maybe it's just because it was such a corny, stereotypically transformative moment for me but i can't wrap my head around reading that book and then 10 years later scolding sanders supporters for pointing out that moneyed interests are doing everything they can to preserve the shitty neoliberal status quo despite what the public actually wants/thinks

the guy whose work spawned one of the most famous books about the negative impacts corporate power on our political system (and even the way we think) taught at wharton, which is one of the top business schools in the world
i thought the cheapshot at "reading my first chomsky book" was ironic because the essence of the book actually comes from a guy who taught finance at one of the world's premier business schools
