Besides problems with economic calculation and knowledge, another issue central planners run into is the Kirznerian problem regarding entrepreneurial alertness; The ability to exploit vulnerabilities to find opportunities to improve: Profits. When everything is planned ahead of time by higher-ups and you get paid whether you're right or wrong, how can you be incenitivized to find ways to improve your organization?

"Standards of living generally have gone up, to be sure. But the general distribution of wealth remains pretty much the same, clumped on the side of the hereditary rich, the predatory politicians, or the violent revolutionary leaders. Generally, in both the capitalist and the socialist world the same modes of production prevail—concentrated ownership, mass markets, mass labor, universalized management." - Karl Hess, ***Community Technology*** (1979) p. 68 #Agorism #Agorist #Libertarian #Antistate #MarketAnarchism #MarketAnarchist #Anarchism #Anarchist #FreeMarket #Anticapitalism #Decentralization #Quotestr

With businesses now closing at night now, why don't TV channels go back to turning off at night too?

What makes the presidency much worse than any monarch is the fact that the president can just get money at the tips of their fingertips instead of running out of money.

"[T]he informational value of prices depends on the prior definition of institutional and property rules. Any number of alternative property arrangements is compatible with the unfettered formation of market-clearing prices; depending on how well, or how badly, the rules are defined, they can do a good or bad job of reflecting relative scarcity, incentivizing productive behavior, and so forth." - Kevin Carson, ***Municipalism, Anarchism, and Polyarchy: Some Thoughts on a Series of Writings by Ryan Neugebauer and Ryan McGaughey*** (2024).

"As an organizing principle, the Market resists the traditional separation of mankind into isolated communities. It seeks to integrate all peoples into one world economy, in which productive techniques change at the breakneck pace dictated by economic competition." - Don Lavoie, ***National Economic Planning: What is Left?*** (1985) p. 39 #Agorism #Agorist #MarketAnarchy #MarketAnarchism #Libertarian #Antistate #AustrianEconomics #AustrianSchool #FreeMarket #Market #Competition #Coordination #SpontaneousOrder #Quotestr

"The extent of advantage that comes from rivalrous competition is not proportional to the number of competitors, as is often assumed by researchers in industrial organization. Cost advantages gained from larger scale production, purchasing, or sales will often spawn very large firms. Thus the relevant 'rivals' upon whose contention the competitive process depends should not be thought of as individuals but rather as 'islands of planning,' whose size is itself a result of competitive forces." - Don Lavoie, ***National Economic Planning: What is Left?*** (1985) p. 38 #Agorism #Agorist #MarketAnarchy #MarketAnarchism #Libertarian #Antistate #AustrianEconomics #AustrianSchool #FreeMarket #Rivalry #Competition #Quotestr

"By treating taxes and state funds as a private treasury, the military bureaucratic class [of Burma] transformed into a crony elite, elevating themselves while granting exclusive business permits to their relatives to create a web of powerful tycoons. This systematic diversion of public resources allowed them to cement their control over the nation’s economy through a multi-generational web of relatives and insiders." - Hein Htet Kyaw, ***Burmese Way to Crony Capitalism: The Socialist Roots of Burmese Cronyism*** (2026)
