i feel this woman would be happier if she'd never discovered Marxism! It's all very elegantly and rationally constructed, but my basic feeling is that - without the free markets and innovation poorer people would never have the standard of living that they do. Crisis is as endemic to humanity as hubris and overreach, hence the 2007-2008 - this was caused by interventions in the economy. I cant envisage a system of control which circumvents these problems. interesting how a democratising of the economy likely involves taking choice away from people as to how the spend , earn, invest etc. I've often wondered : if socialists support separation of church and state, why not economy and state - what is the difference here? Both separations have reduced opportunities for controlling populations. I supoose Gellner would say that communism is a way of thinking with religious overtones and that a communist state would control how people thought in the Orwellian sense. I love Elinor Ostrom's idea: "A resource arrangement that works in practice can work in theory". A great salvo against rationalism. P.S. I have no beef with socialists - just interested in the ideas!

I have a lot to say in response to this so I think I might write a blog post instead of writing here, but I'll be sure to post a link for you when I've posted it.

I don’t think there is way to say this and not sound condescending, but you should read more.
