The Rocket Scientists' Guide to Money and the Economy: Accumulation and Debt
Witty, intelligent, sophisticated, bold, brilliant, seminal, revolutionary, and fit for the Smithsonian... These are all words and phrases that the author, Michael Sharp, uses to describe his Rocket Scientists' Guide to Money and the Economy-Accumulation and Debt. Is this egoistic hyperbole or the lunatic ravings of a scientist who has been sniffing laboratory butane for far too long? Only you can decide for yourself. Just don't miss out on this uniquely transparent look into the dark esosteric corridors of modern economic machination.
ABOUT MICHAEL SHARP Michael Sharp is a sociologist and mystic who has written several books on topics ranging from cosmology and theology, to chakra activation, ascension, and awakening of the physical unit. He has created the SpiritWiki (http: //www.thespiritwiki.com) as a repository of his own spiritual, psychological, and sociological thought.
Michael Sharp took an Economics 100 course as the first class, in the first year, of his failed engineering degree. He dropped that class after only one hour of lecture and was subsequently RTDed (i.e., required to discontinue) for failing all his other courses. Learning from his mistake, he registered in university a second time and stayed as far away from the economics and engineering departments as he could manage. He subsequently went on to finish a PhD in Sociology. You can visit him at http: //www.michaelsharp.org/

It is too bad that this book is so poorly written because the ideas it attempts to convey are very important. I have been trying to get through it for a few years... yes, years. I can only seem to manage about ten to twenty pages every 4-6 months. It is excruciatingly dry. There are pages that are 80% footnotes. I am about 40 pages from the end now, and I am choosing to finally give up. Does the author have an Instagram or TikTok? I don't personally use TikTok, but I feel as though it would be a better platform for the big ideas he wishes to share with the world. Maybe YouTube videos? Not like this, in any case. A series of short videos where he can ramble somewhat cohesively instead of parentheses and footnotes filling page after page. Just my suggestion.
