    That’s definitely fucked up. That said, the book was a collaboration with another economist, Edward Herman. So it isnt entirely his work. It is still generally used as a text in economics and sociology programs across the world.

        Shit. That’s very disappointing. This is my first time hearing about it. Guess I’m glad I listened to Understanding Power through alternative means

        The Epstein update absolutely made me think less of him as a person, no exceptions should be made for that kind of shit. That said, his work on foreign policy like Manufacturing Consent, On Palestine, and Consequences of Capitalism are all extremely detailed and well done.

          Gotta separate the art from the artist. And if you don’t want to give that person money because they’re terrible, pirate their stuff.

            Shout out to Library Genesis and Used Book Copies. Sometimes the audiobook are free on an Audible subscription, but I’m not sure how the money flows for that one

              Straight into the pockets of Jeff Bezos. Audible has been owned by Amazon since 2008

            I understand when that just isn’t possible, however. I’ll never be able to enjoy The Cosby Show again, for example.
