Goes on to talk about price controlled bread under the USSR, think he said it cost 14 kopeks for decades with no real change in price.
I mean I know most economists are just priests for capitalism, but like the one thing most of they do know about the Soviet economy is that it was centrally-planned and as a result Rubles and prices didn't and couldn't function like currency and prices in a market economy. Like its really dumb even for an economist to try and apply capitalist logic to a fundamentally different system.
Also, lol at anyone still talking about the "resource curse", like why aren't Canada or Norway cursed like Brazil or post-Soviet Russia.
Is it becuase the latter two are getting brutally exploited by the former two? No, it's a curse, it's supernatural.
Exactly. There is no 'paradox' once you understand how imperialism works. Blow off these college courses, they know nothing compared to the proletariat.
