Fisking “You Might be a Socialist” . Complete ignorance everywhere about the notion of what actually constitutes socialism. As has been asked elsewhere, was the Roman Republic a socialist state because they build roads? They also had slaves, so does that count?
The general ignorance of how an economy works is so widespread that you have to wonder how soon this will disappear in a mist of incomprehension.
Law of Markets 
you make a valid point re: ignorance of how an economy works.
I am doing Masters degree and i still have not had how an economy works explained to me. The only way i have learnt this is to read fee.org or mises.org or I, pencil or you I, mechanical pencil.
I am sure most lecturers have no idea how it works. Can’t teach what you don’t know.
*or your ‘I, mechanical pencil’.
