    Food, famine and war

    Originally published: Michael Roberts Blog on June 3, 2022 (more by Michael Roberts Blog)

    The wealth of nations

    Originally published: Michael Roberts Blog on February 23, 2022 (more by Michael Roberts Blog)

    Editor | Cuban Flag Museum of the Revolution Havana Cuba 2012 | MR Online

    I have 2 favourite sayings. One draws upon the dialogue in Shakespeare’s Henry the VI part 2 when Jack Cade envisions that the effect of his plot will be that “all the realm shall be in common.” To this, comrade Dick responds, “the first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”
