Not only are they clueless about economics, but they have no interest in them. When anyone spouts "equality", they are talking communism where everyone, except the rulers, is equal at the lowest common denominator. This is exactly why communism fails every time once they have used up the wealth stolen from the producers at the start.

True. And even some of the most successful capitalists, like Warren Buffett, don't seem to understand the basics.

Thomas Sowell is a very, very impressive guy.
