I’ve been reading a lot of Henry George recently. Surprisingly, I don’t find political economics as inscrutable as one might imagine after spending five years engulfed in celebrity television. I enjoy reading his theorems, which don’t seem to have any overt polemical purpose. He states things that are basic. His two axioms are: people seek to satisfy their desires with the least exertion and human desires are unlimited. Do you think your desires are unlimited? Probably. If not, we wouldn’t have constant advances in technology. On the contrary, my desires are very limited. I want to eat tasty food with my loved ones in a tent on the Chhatra Sagar. Just once.
