The problem is money and the way it is allocated. Institutions can't ossify if the funding dries up first. In a market system, an institution that fails to serve a purpose goes out of business. In a command system, too, bad management gets the axe. In the hybrid system we have had since the early-mid 20th century, institutions can be both 1) insulated from market discipline; and 2) influence their own funding through lobbying and legislation. The former does not occur in a market system, and the latter does not occur in a command system. What is missing is negative feedback. Systems without negative feedback are typically unstable.
