    There was no summary. Best was

    Adam Smith justifies the existence of rent as improvement in the value of land.

    “Some guy said rent is good” does not summarize why rent is good. At best it’s an appeal to authority.

      He’s not “some guy”, he’s Adam Smith, one of the main political philosophers responsible for what we know now as capitalism. And it’s a common misconception by people that don’t actually read books that he thinks that landlords, as we have them currently, were bad. Which isn’t true. He summarized it for you and then also added the whole “harvesting kelp” part as well, and then suggested if you want to understand more the nuances of how he feels about landlords you can read more about it. And for some reason you’re like “fuck you” hahaha

      Like dude, I don’t get what your issue here is. It sounds like you’re just being bitchy for bitches sake.

        The projection is strong in this one.
