Subtitle of this chapter: A confused generation

Our Master Yuan waved his arms and said passionately: "Why did all the predecessors here take an immigrant boat like Mayflower to come to this new continent that is still wild? Isn't it because the medieval church not only manipulated the power to give grace to believers, but also deprived the religious people of the opportunity to seek self-rescue?"

"Didn't state-owned enterprises manipulate the power to determine production costs and deprive the free market of the opportunity to form a price mechanism?"

Well, in fact, the Puritans above Mayflower claim to be so self-proclaimed, the kings of Great Britain, France and Ireland blessed by God--the loyal subject of His Majesty King James, the defender of faith and church.

Of course, authentic Americans three hundred years later often say this, my father only taught me two things: love God and hate the British.

Yuan Yan suddenly saw everyone presenting a dazed expression, as if she recalled the hard years of their ancestors' hard work... killing Indians, robbing Spanish men, enshrining Africans, and smuggling A Furong to China to transport tea back and evading taxes.

What should you do after letting your audience recall past glory? The mustache teaches everyone to feel the panic that will lose this glory.

"What's more,..." Our Master Yuan said in a deep tone, "Don't forget that the United States of America is not the only successful industrialized country on this planet. The sun is still there, and Germany has not added... Well, it still retains the foundation of an industrial country."

Before World War I, the industrial output value of the major powers accounted for the world as follows: the United States had 38%, Germany had 15.7%, Britain had 14.1%, France had 6.4%, Tsarist Russia had 4.7%. Behind it was the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Italy had 20.1%.

However, although Britain and France are just the third and fourth brothers, they are indeed qualified to be "the third and fourth brothers (the dialect of the Magic City, saying that a person is self-righteous and likes to show off his old age." Because in addition to industry, these two countries have a large number of colonies, and various resources are much richer than the second brothers, and the people's living standards are also better... So later they started fighting.

With the Master Ball System, Yuan Yanshu's famous sayings and aphorisms came out: "There is a famous proverb in the ancient East. When sailing against the current, even if the helm is the old man... Well, the captain, if he cannot move forward, he can only retreat. The Bible says that if he has it, he will add it to him and make it unnecessary; if he has it, he will take over all his things."

He concluded earnestly: "Even if our United States of America is already the largest industrial country in the world, we cannot slack off and give up our own advantages!"

He said in his heart, if you Americans really could listen to this sentence, how could there be such a mess of "de-industrialization" in the future?

After saying this, Yuan Yan suddenly bowed slightly to everyone and sat back on the seat. He secretly looked at the side. Vice President James-b-Conant looked at him in surprise, with a thoughtful look on his face. It seemed that these words had the effect they should have.

In fact, Master Yuan’s words are not dedicated, not hardworking, not courageous... He is really planning for my Great America. A hundred years later, his disciples and grandchildren in China and the United States think of the bad situation in which my Great America industry is unbalanced and a great power in the East rises, and he thinks of his words.

Unfortunately, a genius like him always transcends the times and is always not recognized by people of his contemporaries, and someone immediately refuted it.

Mr. Louis Baker raised his hand high, and after receiving the permission of Chandler's professor, he stood up and said, "This..."

He probably...well, he definitely didn't think of which onion this Chinese person was.

Master Bird stood up without any chance and said, "my-name-is-Nio-yuan."

After all, they are children of wealthy families and said politely: "Well, Mr. Yuan, I'm lucky to know."

But he immediately said loudly with a full mood: "Mr. Yuan, the Bible also said: All the laws in the world are in the words of loving others as oneself!"

Mr. Baker turned around and looked around and said, "Love others as yourself... Everyone, while we talk here, the workers are working hard in the dark mines at the risk of death at any time."

“Shouldn’t we American people share the mineral resources God has given us?”

"Does our world's number one industry in the United States be built on the corpses of workers?"

"Does our America want to build a new world of civilization in this way?"

Yuan Yan suddenly curled his lips and said in his heart, is the land owned by your American people really given by God?

Isn’t your world number one industry in America built on Indians and blacks…and the corpses of our Chinese workers?

Isn’t the global hegemony that you America holds in the future built on the sea of ​​blood of World War II?

Nowadays, American capitalists and proletarian boys are like this. These reserve members of the international column should have woken up in the Spanish Civil War sixteen years later.

There were too many masters in that international column: Hemingway, Picasso, George Orwell (author of "1984" and "Animal Manor", Neruda (the great poet of South American country), Abel Camus (the French existentialist master who is as famous as Sartre).

In fact, these young Westerners who are the same age as Yuan Yanshu are the "lost-generation". So why are these post-90s and post-00s confused?

It is because the "unrighteous war" of World War I was really a big blow to the Western civilized world. The conservative elderly people were fine, but their minds could not turn around anyway. However, those young people who are prone to accepting new things, especially young intellectuals, all had great doubts about the old set of values.

Sometimes the development of technology is really not necessarily a "good thing". Although it is cruel and bloody to line up to kill, it can also be called magnificent and romantic. Unfortunately, young soldiers from all over the world during the war were not flintlocks, Napoleon guns and enemies who were also wearing gorgeous military uniforms; but machine guns, howitzers and barbed wire, and "trench feet" that were seen rotting little by little... In the late stage of the war, they even felt that the enemy on the opposite side was much cuter than the commanders who forced themselves to die.

In Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy, Schumpeter once teased that young people "can't wait to get a good opportunity, hope to save the world in this way, hate textbooks that are so monotonous that they cannot complete a synthesis through their own efforts, so they find what they long for in Marx (and others), where there is the key to opening all extreme mysteries, and the magic wand that can command big and small things. (Note 1)"

I have to say that for these post-90s, socialist theory seems so good because the capitalist theories that led to World War I were really too overwhelming. Is this a blue world after all?

Even the three generations of Louis Baker, who are well-off, are speaking for the working class, and the place like the dignified Nyu Stern Academy, which specializes in cultivating Wall Street vampires, is even applauded by him. This shows that it is obvious.

This is of course too unreasonable to the masters of neoclassical liberalism.

When Yuan Yanshu was complaining about this, Mr. Baker's speech was indeed recognized by most students, and some even applauded him.

"Ba, bha, bha...bha! bha! bha!"

Our Master Yuan's eyes rolled, he immediately stood up and slapped hard, shouting, "bravo!"

Note 1: I would like to thank the forum for the white-robed comrade Idiot. He didn't say that I hadn't read it yet. But since he talked about Joseph Alois Schumpeter, this guy is really interesting, and Murong couldn't help but spend some pen to introduce it.

The Austrian Finance Minister in 1919 was also a famous "master" in the economics community, and famous...bat no man.

This "bat" claimed to be a member of the Austrian school, and he was taught by Mises. He looked down on his younger brother Hayek very much. But the strange thing is that Schumpeter completely abandoned the foundation of the Austrian school, that is, Menger's theory of individual marginal utility, and adopted the methodology and balanced philosophy of the German historical school. This led to his theory completely contrary to the mainstream of the Austrian school.
