[socrates469bc]

Wang Mang (Chinese: 王莽) (c. 45 BC – 6 October 23 AD), courtesy name Jujun (Chinese: 巨君; pinyin: Jùjūn), was a Han dynasty official and consort kin who seized the Chinese imperial throne from the Liu family and founded the Xin (or Hsin, referring to either the site of Wang's first fiefdom or meaning "renewed"^{[note 1]}) dynasty (新朝). He ruled from 9 AD to 23 AD. The Han dynasty was restored after his overthrow, and his rule marked the separation between the Western Han dynasty (before Xin) and Eastern Han dynasty (after Xin). Some historians have traditionally viewed Wang as a usurper, while others have portrayed him as a visionary and selfless social reformer. Though a learned Confucian scholar who sought to implement the harmonious society he saw in the classics, his efforts ended in chaos.

Actually people crave for power deep inside their heart. Even those religious people too.

thats why pareto and edgeworth came up with the indifference curves to explain our innate needs.

 

marx was rite in many things, but apparently he never talked to edgeworth.

 

if he had spoken to him, he would have known that socialist ideas, let alone communism, will not be able to survive in the longer term,
