Chapter subtitled: German Mills, English Granny, and American Mining

So why would a neoclassical liberal master like Yuan Yanqian buy such an unpopular tabloid? Of course, because the editor-in-chief of this newspaper was famous in later generations. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When he first glanced at the editor-in-chief's name, he thought it was the same name and surname. However, he was aroused by curiosity, picked it up and looked at it, and read this passage:

"One of the most alarming trends in this era is the growing disregard for law and order. Whether or not these tendencies are influenced by the hateful Russian inferior mob. This group of people, born of the stimulus of this stupid populace scattered throughout the world, seems to be driven by a rare malice......"

Isn't such a flowery and condescending baroque style the hallmark of that benevolent brother?

It was also the first time that our Master Yuan knew that he was still a racist. But even if he was really a racist, the book "The Territory of Jerusalem" was made for him, so he sent the manuscript he had with him when he passed the post office.

Of course, he didn't use Neo-Yuan's real name, but a pen name. Since there is a red queen, then there is naturally a ......

Then our Master Yuan followed the new habit and came to NYU with a leather briefcase.

This morning coincided with an open class by Professor Julian H. Chandler, and all Stern College students were able to enter the class. And when he arrived, the open classes had already begun, so Yuan Yanqian found a back seat and sat down.

As soon as he sat down, he heard a commotion in the large classroom, which could accommodate more than 100 students, and the students sitting in front of him looked excited, and some even stood up and danced without knowing what they were saying.

"Quiet! Be quiet!! The Teutonic knight standing behind the podium also wanted to calm down the vampire cubs below in a more gentlemanly way, "...... quietly"

"Smack!" In the end, he couldn't calm the students' emotions, he picked up the whip, slammed it on the table, and said a very rare foul word, "Shut up for me!" ”

His voice still shocked the students, and most of them closed their mouths, and those who stood up sat down in disagreement.

Professor Chandler nodded and said, "As a gentleman, how can you be so noisy in the academy?" What kind of system is this?! ”

He paused and said, "Of course, openness is the teaching tenet of our school, and it is also my teaching philosophy. Debate is allowed in my class, but order is even more necessary. Raise your hand if any of you want to speak! ”

As soon as Professor Chandler finished speaking, a grove of arms grew in the classroom.

"Mr. Louis Baker, you are the first."

This Mr. Baker is a personable and bookish young man, dressed in a crisp and not fancy dress, with golden hair neatly attached to his scalp, no matter how you look at it, he is the so-called "gentleman" of this era.

He stood up, nodded to Professor Chandler in a gentlemanly manner, and then half-turned and said aloud, "Mr. Professor, students. I support the United Mining Union's proposal to nationalize mines in the United States. Please think about it from a humanitarian point of view......"

Yuan Yanqian heard this, and then understood what they were talking about. As Mr. Baker said, miners in the United States are launching a petition asking the current Democratic administration to nationalize all mines in the United States!

The consciousness of American workers in the 1920s was not low...... Phew, that's too reactionary for a neoclassical liberal master like him.

But why is it said that "the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter." In a capitalist society where private property is sacrosanct, would anyone so justifiably call for the nationalization of private mining? And how can there be bourgeois gentlemen who approve of this approach and defend it?

This raises the fundamental question of whether private property is really sacrosanct in a capitalist society like the United States.

Unfortunately, the last sentence of Article 5 of the Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is, "Without due process of law...... Private property may not be used for public purposes without fair compensation. Conversely, private property can be used for public purposes as long as due process of law and fair compensation is given...... Hey, hey, what about the sanctity of private property?

After reading this, Yuan Yanqian also felt very disillusioned.

Therefore, as long as the U.S. government comes forward to enact laws to "fairly" compensate mine owners, it will naturally be able to nationalize the entire mining industry in the United States.

What makes our Master Yuan sad is that the bourgeoisie in the twenties of the twentieth century knew about this kind of thing, but in another hundred years, some proletariats will not know it, and they will open their mouths to "German mills" and close their mouths to "English old lady". Do you want to be an elite at this level? Dream on!

But there are also things that he is thankful for, at least his classmates did not argue in the first place whether the mining industry could be nationalized, but whether it should be nationalized. This level is much stronger than the little whites he saw on the Internet in his later life.

It's just that Yuan Yanqian is not interested in this issue at all. Because he sits firmly on his ass, since he is a master of neoclassical liberals, as long as he hears nationalization, then the word "bah" must be right, and what should he not ask?

Louis Baker, who is talking eloquently, Yuan Yanqian really knows each other. It's not because this guy is too good at NYU or is considered the number one person in later history, but because this guy has a very famous grandfather. Even if our Master Yuan waited for three years to die in Stern College, we all know that this close partner of J.P. Morgan is also a good partner of Mr. George F. Baker, a famous Wall Street banker. It's just that he didn't have a chance to hug this thigh before.

Wall Street bankers support the nationalization of mining, which of course is ...... And rightfully so!

State-owned enterprises don't need financing? As a big banker, is Morgan's partner willing to talk to the government, which has long had good political and business relations, or is he willing to talk to all kinds of minerals with different capital backgrounds? If you think about it, you should understand.

However, although the arguments between the two parties were very intense, Master Yuan, who didn't care at all, just put it on the sticker and listened to it drowsy, and then really fell asleep.
