MarxCapital:
Anyone who brings up the failure of communism/socialism/fascism will be wasting their own time. I know Marxism has failed; but that does not make you right. I'm saying that capitalism must destroy its self, as well as all other potential forms of economics. It's human nature to destroy ourselves.

I'd like to address this point because the economics of your topic have been beaten to death. You state that human nature is perpetual destruction, what gives you such a premise given the fact that humanity has existed for centuries and we have reached whole new technological fields even in this last century?

And I'd like to know if she thinks an office worker should get a raise every time his computer gets upgraded, as would be implied by her theory of productivity and wages.

MarxCapital:
But why would the laborers not take the real increase in wages? Why would the Austrians assume that workers would accept a fall in salaries?

Say's law holds.

"If we wish to preserve a free society, it is essential that we recognize that the desirability of a particular object is not sufficient justification for the use of coercion."
