Just a few years ago the economics profession completely marginalized @Claudia_Sahm for speaking out on this matter.

If 1000 billion dollars for a single human beings work really makes you think about the labor theory of economic value AND the madness of economic reason, do I have the essay for you by @cacrisalves What Would Marx say? https://t.co/gNMZHSXdk7
