I just like pointing out that it's nothing new.
It may not be a flashy term, but it has a lot of historical context and it's basically a defining feature of modern capitalism at this point.
Absolutely. I read a whole lot about it after I posted my previous comment. Rent seeking is definitely the right term.
Glad to hear it. Spread the word, it's a great term imo, and something more people need to be aware of.
