This is an interesting point. I have never been against optimizing objective functions, assuming that objectives can reasonably be mathematized. Here is a question Justin: What may be some objectives of workers managed corporations in the market society you imagine? Put differently, what kind of "contracts" such corporations and the persons that embody them will have to "sign" in this market society? Of course, before such a society is constructed we may never know what these contracts will exactly look like but what do you expect them to look like, approximately, that is? Best, Sabri
