I must commence this book review with the disclaimer that this book is nearly unobtainable as a new, hard copy book. The book is not suitable for e-readers given the book is in the style of a large-paged textbook, and consequently, this book is not downloadable or available for purchase on the Amazon kindle store.Continue reading “(Book Review) Labor Economics from a Free Market Perspective by Walter Block”

Modeling Consumer Demand for Complexion Cosmetics (Part 1: Abstract)
I have been wearing cosmetics since adolescence, and I have heard through beauty gurus (vloggers whose emphasis is reviewing and discussing cosmetics) in addition to other wearers of cosmetics, that makeup brands exhibit discrimination and racism towards people of deeper skin tones.

(Book Review) Keynes the Man by Murray Rothbard

To venerate the morality of socialist thought would be to gift appurtenance toContinue reading “(Book Review) Debunking Utopia: Exposing The Myth of Nordic Socialism by Nima Sanandaji”
Apparel Retail: Sizeism or a Lesson in Economics?
Do you ever have difficulty finding clothes that fit you? Maybe clothes always seem a little too big. Perhaps clothes always feel a little too short or long for your body. The conspicuous truth is that human beings coalesce all sorts of different topological formations. Some of us are Rubenesque, and some of us slim.Continue reading “Apparel Retail: Sizeism or a Lesson in Economics?”
