Interesting article. I like the concept of a supply-side labor market. A few thoughts:
Planned-economy socialism has severe and often fatal imperfections, but it's still better than our corporate oligarchy/ochlocracy, which retains the worst of both worlds between capitalism and socialism. I'd honestly rather live in the world of Scott Adams, where society has the balls to do something about health and energy, than in this doomed, perennially grid-locked corporate mess we've got going on now. We're so hogtied by the legal equivalent of bad legacy code, and our leadership is so gutless, that we can't even get universal healthcare passed.
The optimal solution is somewhere in the middle between the planned economy and free-market capitalism. You need government to prevent corporations from casting a shadow, and to correct for market failures such as widespread unemployment and high housing costs, and to fund public goods that aren't profitable (infrastructure, research) in the short term, and otherwise stay out.
