Wendy’s Recent Updates

Wendy Liu and 5 other people liked Annelie's review of Martin Eden:
Martin Eden by Jack London
"I read this since it was featured in Once Upon a Time in America.

The book fully immerses you in Eden's psyche. He is completely seduced by the trappings of bourgeoise society, not knowing that the fruits of education have been perverted by that clas" Read more of this review »
The Triumph of Economic Freedom by Phil Gramm
"Right-libertarian brain candy posing as serious argument. Gave it two stars for being words on paper making coherent sentences, with footnotes and stuff."

Quotes by Wendy Liu  (?)

“Creating derivative software to help brands better understand their customers seemed like a poor use of my limited time on this burning planet.”
Wendy Liu, Abolish Silicon Valley: How to Liberate Technology from Capitalism

“Our current understanding of entrepreneurship is deeply saturated in power-hungry capitalist greed, leading to undemocratic control of the technological infrastructure that underpins our lives — not to mention massively wasteful economic inequality. Whatever merits the existing system of private entrepreneurship may have had, we’re now brushing up against its limits, and it’s time to consider something new.”
Wendy Liu, Abolish Silicon Valley: How to Liberate Technology from Capitalism

“But I also believe that technology has greater potential than the mundane, profit-seeking ventures to which it has been relegated under the current system.”
Wendy Liu, Abolish Silicon Valley: How to Liberate Technology from Capitalism

“Higher taxes to bring down public debt would also put to rest the tawdry rhetoric according to which ‘we’ should not live at the expense of ‘our children’ – when the real problem is that the ‘better-off’ live at everyone else’s expense by largely avoiding the social costs involved in the upkeep of their hunting grounds.”
Wolfgang Streeck, Buying Time: The Delayed Crisis of Democratic Capitalism
