Jesse’s Challenge/Question: I’d define capitalism as the belief that everyone has the right & responsibility to use their own resources in the way which they think is most conducive to improving the world. If that’s not capitalism, what is it?

Random Quote:

“In Ceremony, for example, there is a scene in which a spurned woman is dancing very angrily. Miles away, the man who betrayed her is checking the commotion his cattle are making in the night. Descriptions of the woman’s heels stamping the floor are alternated with descriptions of the cattle trampling the man to death, back and forth from one to the other. No assertion of causality is made, but the dancer’s heels and the animals’ hooves become linked so powerfully that the reader doesn’t just ‘get it.’ What’s conveyed is not a symbol or a metaphor, but the reality that a woman can be so angry that when she dances, her lover dies.”

- Bruce Holland Rogers, describing Magical Realism in literature
