I like how someone writing something 100 years ago makes it true
Cool, we still use Socratic Dialogue as an instructional tool and that has existed for 2500 years. Something being old doesn't make it useless.
I didn't say the problem is the age
You literally did say that.
No? I said the fact that he said it 100 years ago isn't evidence what he said is true.
Cool and yet his descriptions of how the wealthy class would rather artificially limit production rather than give up the power that money has are accurate.
People often- although not always follow incentives. The wealthy aren't unique in that- and that isn't surprising.
Which is why it's important to critically examine the systems that we live within and change them when the incentives put forward by said system cause harm to more and more people.
So the artificial scarcity doesn't ring true to you?
They did give you two options. They didn't say those are the only two options.
