The core concept of Richard Wolf's thesis is that people should be trusted to do their own work. Centralized command economies are dead impractical ideologies, can never work in a chaotic, random universe. Wolf's insinuation is that 'centralized state capitalism' is a kind of reverse mirror image of 'centralized state socialism'. He also says that it has the same destructive effect on the institution of the family and society. Wolf also criticises the old Soviet Union, accusing it of the same inefficiency, mismanagement, ineptitude administrative malpractices. Karl Marx was an excellent diagnostician, but a bad clinician. He could point out all the deficiencies in the capitalistic system. Unfortunately, the remedy he prescribed was worse than the malady. Nassim N Taleb, the author of Black Swan says that 'free markets' work because of aggressive trial and error, eventualy somebody finds something that works. He says that small crisis are good because is allows the weaker companies to die off, and fitter ones go on to survive. He says that if you often intervene to prevent small crisis, and make the environment too flat, then when the biggie strikes, everyone is knocked out. This is what he says in page 180, Quote, For Hayek, a true forecast is done organically by a system, not by fiat. One single institution, say, the central planner, cannot aggregate knowledge; many important pieces of information will be missing. But society as a whole will be able to integrate into its functioning these multiple pieces of information. Society as a whole thinks outside the box. Hayek attacked socialism and managed economies as a product of what I have called nerd knowledge, or Platonicity -- owing to the growth of scientific knowledge, we overestimate our ability to understand the subtle changes that consti tute the world, and what weight needs to be imparted to each such change. He aptly called this scientism. This disease is severely ingrained in our institutions. It is why I fear governments and large corporations -- it is hard to distinguish between them. Governments make forecasts; companies produce projections; every year various forecasters project the level of mortgage rates and the stock market at the end of the following year. Corporations survive not because they have made good forecasts, but because, like the CEOs visiting Wharton I mentioned earlier, they may have been the lucky ones. And, like a restaurant owner, they may be hurting themselves, not us --perhaps helping us and subsidizing our consumption by giving us goods in the process, like cheap telephone calls to the rest of the world funded by the overinvestment during the dotcom era. We consumers can let them forecast all they want if that's what is necessary for them to get into business. Let them go hang themselves if they wish. As a matter of fact, as I mentioned in Chapter 8, we New Yorkers are all benefiting from the quixotic overconfidence of corporations and restaurant entrepreneurs. This is the benefit of capitalism that people discuss the least. UnQuote. --- emptybill@... wrote : Those crappy Detroit autos were realigned by the Japos - not by some commie commissar like you.

Birchy Bill, I wasn't born yesterday. I know about Deming. The big three fucked up big time. People started wanting fuel efficient cars and the Japanese came through. I own a Subaru which 16 years old and it was designed and built in the US. I also understand that Fidel trains some excellent doctors. Probably folks who are actually interested in medicine and not in golf. What have the American Oligarchs done for you lately?
