• Arguing against STV.

  
  Check Your Premises — Authority: 123
  It seems to me like there is a vast gap in knowledge regarding the LTV (labour theory of value) and STV (subjective theory of value) arguments.

  Anarchoblogs — Authority: 157
  I dont call it "post-carbon" because all life is carbon based. I call it post peak-oil and post fossil fuel. The lifestyles of the "Western" world is so melded to the use of fossil fuels for all aspects of luxury and survival and irrational interaction and it has arisen in the last three hundred years as an integral ...

  REAL LIBERAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH — Authority: 133
  This is a great historical overview by Webster Tarpley. His focus on Wall Street as the enemy is exactly correct.

  What's Wrong with the World — Authority: 529
