It's always been super interesting to me that inside every capitalist enterprise is a command economy wanting to grow.

- sudosysgen 6y agoIt really is. Something also really interesting was the Sears experiment, where the company was restructured away from the internal command economy you described to something more like an inner market economy with interesting results. Beyond what I think about giving market socialism some solid experiments, I think it might also be worth it to redo some small scale experimentation and analysis on command economies done modernly and attempt to quantify the various tradeoffs and issues with it. There are just so many interesting and promising things in this sector that look ripe for possibly extremely impactful and disruptive research and experimentation.
