I’d strongly recommend you consider reading the entire thing, because that is not his take at all.

Consider at his time, “landlord” literally meant a lord who owned land, and much of the rent he discussed (often negatively) is shit like, charging people to harvest kelp near your house.

I don’t understand why you’re getting downvoted. You’re right.

    I guess, but the mass incorrectness still annoys me lol

  Probably because he’s not actually presenting an argument, and is instead expecting people to read a 57 310 word essay. Oh, and if you read all of that and still disagree? “You must have misunderstood, read it again.”

    If you can’t simplify it enough to summarize in less than 57 000 words, then you don’t understand it.

Fair. I was thinking today he seemed more to be referring to crops

  Fun fact: all unions are inherently rent-seeking.
  
  I say this as a supporter of unions - true is true. Rent seeking is inherently bad but the sum of the union equation is that they do more good than bad.
