The Internet's Leading Armchair Revolutionaryis Dean Sayers. This blog was started primarily to accumulate data and develop my own ideas in a static, accessible form. Posts to the blog will be interminable.
Auditing Capitalismis the only real way to confront the problems facing the working class in this epoch. Some arguments of mine may seem disingenuous because state, legal, positional and even financial forces of power are variously described as non-capital resources. But this misses the point. To most economic models, the important aspect of capital is its ability to self-replicate and expand. Capital is, at its core, a dynamic of power, and this power is replicated across all or nearly all significant social relations today.

Dean F. Sayersis currently the sole author working on this project. To those who know me, the irony of all of my grandstanding is apparent: I'm generally way too serious and far more structured than I need to be, and I am not part of an indispensable or even particularly serious clique of economists. Despite my reading AJE, FT, WSJ and other sources daily, I have only a modicum of structured training in economics/finance and I think it shows. I'm serious about being a pedestrian. I plan on pursuing more education along these lines, however. As it stands, my ideas are most closely related to Critical Theory.
