Again. Stop bogarting the interpretations. That is what literature is for. You can read it your way, and your insights are cool, valid, and important. HOWEVER, they don't negate anyone else opinions simply because they only half-agree with yours. I've conceded that the book was about macro-economics, but the microscopic analysis was again through the lens of the young woman, who are also the driving force of most economies as they have been for 100,000 years or so

say whatever you want, but i insist that i think you read it too fast, and rather than let it fuck with your brain you've subordinated it to your preexisting interpretations. maybe i'm overreacting but this shit is like nothing i've read in a loooong time. maybe i just haven't read anything in a long time. ha! but i think it can be mind-altering if you let it (unlike most shit which is just repetitions of repetitions and i'm tired of them)
