Generally though, the point that you fail to see is that an AGI can
just as easily subvert *any* power structure, whether the environment
is a libertarian free market or an autocratic communist state. The
problem has nothing to do with the governance of the economy but the
fact that the AGI is the single most intelligent actor in the economy
however you may arrange it. You can rearrange and change the rules as
you wish, but any economy where transactions are something other than
completely random is an economy that can be completely dominated by AGI
in short order. The game is exactly the same either way, and more
rigid economies have much simpler patterns that make them easier to
manipulate.
Regulating economies to prevent super-intelligent actors from doing bad
things is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Succinctly put.
