This sounded no different than the routine
operation of local government. What is new and
improved in the decision-making process, aside
from the likely non-existence of special
interests stemming from capital ownership and
the absence of commercial inducements to private
consumption? Wouldn't there still be special
interests stemming from other factors (e.g., my
block versus yours) even with no private
ownership of capital?
By 'proportional share,' do you mean we are
financing everything via head taxes?
Cheers,
