Version 11.7
Tenth Anniversary of An Anarchist FAQ! www.infoshop.org/faq/10years.html www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/10years.html 10th anniversary introduction
Section C www.infoshop.org/faq/secCint.html www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/secCint.html Revised introduction to Section C
Section C.1 www.infoshop.org/faq/secC1.html www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/secC1.html Totally revised and expanded revision of section C.1, now entitled "What is wrong with Economics?". Explains why mainstream economics is not a science and not value free as well as how it presents a radically false picture of capitalism.
Section C.2 www.infoshop.org/faq/secC2.html www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/secC2.html Totally revised and expanded revision of section C.2, now entitled "Why is capitalism exploitative?". Explains why anarchists, like other socialists, think capitalism is exploitative. It also critiques many of the standard mainstream economics defences of profit, interest and rent (such as marginal productivity theory, waiting, risk and innovation).
Section C.9.1 www.infoshop.org/faq/secC9.html#secc91 www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/1931/secC9.html#secc91 Addition to the section on "Would cutting wages reduce unemployment?" to note that there is no theoretical or empirical reason to support the standard economic assertion of an upward sloping supply curve for labour and so its arguments on what causes unemployment (i.e. wages being too high).
