So far into it this dude seems like a major dick with a hard on for name dropping. Also if you've read a cross-section of literature do you ever notice how we're being continually pathologized into having mental illnesses like psychopathy or sociopathy and other 'pathies'?I mean what the fuck! Apparently wanting fat stacks makes you criminally insane or something. Guess that puts most investors, entrepreneurs and businesspeople into the box as well. Selfish != Self InterestSelf Interest != Irrational.It's the difference between what I like to call 'short term greedy' vs 'long term greedy'. Short term greedy is inherently destructive, whereas long term greedy is inherently productive.I think this bias exists in the literature because:A: The sample they get their info from is 9/10 coming from the ones who got caught aka: usually the dumber criminals with a short term perspective. Those types of criminals never put themselves in the position of the police, let alone the DEA, so they get caught every time.B: The criminologists and sociologists writing the literature veer strongly to the left of the political spectrum. Not always of course, but usually. As a result, they *already* consider capitalists to be criminals (watch the film: "The Corporation" and you'll see what I mean), so it's a foregone conclusion for them. These are pretty much the same people who think: "killing is wrong" as an absolute, despite the fact we've been murdering each other for tens of thousands of years with motivations that range from Bananas to Totally Justified. C: Very few anthropologists study the black market. Lack of reliable good data.But mostly, it's because they make no fucking effort whatsoever to make intelligent deductions. Fuck those lazy assholes seeking tenure. >:(/end mini-rant
