Inspired from youth by Albert Camus' sense of the Absurd, I try to be a voice for REASON in the growing darkness and moral insanity of global capitalism .

From Karl Marx to Alice in Wonderland - the origin of capitalist wealth
My cynicism of this feverish Roaring 20s type stock market owes much to the lucidity of Marx's " Das Kapital ". But also to elementary high school physics: " You can't get something from nothing " ; in more scholastic language: " Conservation of Energy ".
What a world . The people who do all the work OWN just about nothing. The very few people who do nothing own just about EVERYTHING. From Marx to Alice in Wonderland.
If their wealth is explained by THEIR work, those plutocrats must be responsible for the global warming mess - as WORK is measured in calories in the physics class. I believe I have a Phd thesis here.
