The Wealth of Nations made convincing arguments that mercantilism wasn’t the most effecient system. Paid laborers cost less than slaves. Hoarding [gold] bullion makes it abundant in your country, thus less valuable.
It may be time for the next system. The manifesto will need arguments that appeal to one’s pragmatism rather than sense of charity (48 Laws of Power, Law 13, Robert Greene).
I had a thought the other day:
If your HOA sues you and YOU WIN, they (usually) have to pay your attorney fees in addition to their own.
But…you’re part of the HOA. Your dues will go up to cover the costs of a stupid lawsuit that you beat.
