(...I just think you haven't channeled enough of your schizotypy here :) (I suspect one can find under-interpreted arguments in Graeber that support your unpopular claim but...) In contrast, what seems really interesting (to me, &/or not just HN-blasphemous) is the alternate framing that Free markets can be extreme left-wing Can follow up on the discussion if you're interested-- maybe the real trouble is that Glen Weyl & Freedman haven't been proven crackpots >That essay is important In order to NOT be distracted by Freeman's essay, consider that it most likely hasnt ever crossed their minds that markets that look free can have much more intricate structure than the most uh thoughtful institution? Whether structure correlates with sentience is then the nub? Then there's the apparent counterpoint of a field known as "institutional econs"; not quite as friendly a framing to schizos :(
