    For as much as the book is critical of Keynesian deficit spending, she (Amity) says nothing in the book nor her many talks since its publication about Reaganomics, which is just deficit spending on the military. In the at least the deficit spending of The New Deal gave us hundreds if not thousands of public works and infrastructure that exists to this day. Whereas Reaganomics gave us nothing but a giant military that politicians feel compelled to constantly use to justify its existence which comes at a cost of literally trillions in blood and treasure.

    • @LokisLibrarian
      @LokisLibrarian 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      But why would she? This book wasn't about Reagan, it was specifically about the depression and FDR's policies? Throwing Reagan in would not have made sense, as he wasn't president until well after the decade in question. Deficit spending is bad, regardless of if it's for The Forgotten Man or the Military Industrial Complex, but this book was about a specific time period, discussing Reaganomics would have been highly anachronistic

      @clayfoster8234 26 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@LokisLibrarian I completely agree a discussion of Reagan doesn’t belong in this book. However, she’s a conservative ideologue who has never once attacked Reagan or any other Republican for profligate deficit spending. Which makes her attacks against the deficit spending of only The New Deal (and later the Great Society) ring hollow. Especially considering the real problem was we didn’t spend enough, as evidenced by 1937 depression within the depression that she dedicates at least a full chapter if not two to. More recent analysis by economists (amity is an English major IIRC) points clearly to that backsliding resulting from FDR pulling back on govt spending and reducing programs, not the culmination of bad tax and spend policy.

    Pretty sure the medicine (mans but its usually not and yeah emale shamans exist plenty who do so its probably left ou?!) journey is something that the heros journey is simplified from extremely likely Dunno even about star wars a new hopew where argumently leia is the best character, i mean she does organize and is kinda the "old hope" and the reason why she cant be the one to save thae day, she isnt the main character, thats luke. But she does a lot and is argumently the one keeping the resistence afloat?! In a heroes journey no less. but there luke just, is the hero. so she cant be the main focus.

      The Shaman's journey tracks with a Hero's Journey, so that makes sense. I think the reason Star Wars worked is that all the characters were equally developed, so it was a full experience, not just one guy Mary Sue-ing it to success.

It was a necessary evil to save the natives from absolute annihilation. They refused the peaceful options, so Jackson’s hands were forced to the nuclear option.

Settlers need it. So your home is now where we say it is. I mean, thank God for Big Daddy Government, saving the poor savages from themselves. Since you immediately jumped to insults... (I would argue a child's understanding is saying the government can fix anything, rather than being the entirety of the problem....see, if the government had actually enforced the original treaties on the settlers, then the Tribes would have had no reason to keep attacking)...rather than conversation, I can see you are not interested in others opinions, only in hearing yourself talk.
