Odd to me that you equate productivity with the value of a person.

Some people are just better in terms of being productive. I don’t see how that’s debatable. The question is just if you let those people keep they’re outsized earnings or you forcibly redistribute them.

You can agree with some principles of a work and reject others. What parts of her philosophy do you find to be lunacy?

There’s at least a grain of truth in that book. Try starting a business or producing something.

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. . . you may know that your society is doomed.”
