Rules to post:
- You have to be at least 16 (< 18 discouraged).
- Topics must be directly or indirectly linked to mathematics or economics (you can post homework if you wish, but don't depend on my quick response). Do not post warlight questions, unless you want to reformulate it in pure game theory language.
- I hate geometry, not a rule, just stating the obvious :)
- If you are a keynesian it is encouraged to discuss economics on a given specific topic/model/theory etc. rather than make general statements.
- Being as specific as possible while formulating questions/topics is encouraged.
- Serious style starting with "Dear ..." is discouraged, but allowed.
- Trolling is welcome, but only if it is smart. If you want to post something which would be widely considered trolling take an internet IQ test, if you score at least 120 you may post. If not refrain from trolling attempts please since it will be likely seen as very weak.
- Since it is 22.12 have a nice Christmas break :)

What's the best way to make the most money by doing the least amount of work?

You'd have to define best. If by best you mean a way with lowest work/income ratio i'd suggest lottery, that is by far the easiest way to go provided you are lucky.

Lottery is not a job. I want little work and high income. Your introduction made me think you have answers. I guess you are as lazy as I am.

Initially you asked about the easiest way to make money, I told you what it is. If you ask about a job that produces most money with no real effort, you should be after Ben Bernanke's job. Also I heard that supermodels are grossly overpaid if you have the predispositions in that area. On a more serious note jobs that fit your description are at the end of a long career. A hard-working financial analyst in quantitative finance will earn a lot and work a lot, but after 15-20 years he can become a board member, which eases a lot of pressure, but still keeps similar payroll. Politicians in developing countries have a lot of possibilities of fraud and do not need to have good qualities to be elected, so that's the other job i'd recommend.

Do you beleive communism could ever work in a large country without the whole population being totally devoted to the idea?

No, I don't believe it.

Communism can work on a very small scale, the fundament of our society, family, is a type of a commune... The difference in scale is not only quantitative, but qualitative. In modern society market and prices serve as primary canals of information distribution and without it there is no room for economic calculation which is the base for any economic decision making process. As a reference i'll give "Human Action" by Mises, chapter XXVI in particular. It is one of my favourite chapters in that book, very short and easy to understand.

It seems vanity is vane enough to answer someone else's questions... It seems we have one more person familiar with austrian works which pleases me.

My answer is simple, communism cannot work, because of lack of basic market process. Whether the society is devoted to the idea or not is irrelevant, it can only influence how long the system will last. It cannot effectively distribute nor plan properly, to quote a classic, "I want plans by the many, not by the few".

also in the end small minorities can do big things which is why the quote "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" may be true in some respects the minority's have been known to revolt like the american indians at the battle of little bighorn they defeated a superior army for their freedom

why is hellbender potsing here?

whats with the doucebagyness today warflowvet? who crapped in your cornflakes

Around the age of 13-15 kids start to become adults in a slow and painful process. Part of that is to seek social approval through various methods. Internet provides a social interaction unlike any other, if we were to meet him in real-life we'd dismiss him completely knowing how old he is and what social position we do have. On the other hand internet forums can be stripped of human interaction, yet you can seek approval there if you desire so. In real-life people feel awkwardness when they speak out having nothing to contribute, but here there is nothing from stopping him to post anything he wants, however nonsensical it might be. In order to mask some of his posts he uses quotes, historical references and uses big words like outweigh, making it seem like it's useful to the conversation. And that's why the cookie cr... sorry, that's why he posts here.

so close but yet so far.
i dont need your approval i just put in my two cents you dont like it i know somplace you can shove it
