laurie corzett: ‘interwar’ is a common reference to the time from the end of the World War I and the various beginnings of the World War II. It was a simpler time, when neither cybernetics nor chaos had yet been discovered, and even many smart people still thought that detailed planning could overcome inefficiencies.
I don’t know what you think capitalist governments do, but no small amount of it is trying to manage the capitalist economy. That involves planning.
Libertarians are wrong not because they think government intervenes in the market, but because they don’t see that government is required to set and maintain the conditions for the market, to be a power for national capital in general against particular capitals.

I want to start as as a lowly mail room worker at the Department of Detailed Planning. Then work my way up through hard work and a bit of luck! 😉

Jeff Zahari : Read more economists and less Libertarians, because that’s a mostly bullshit myth Libertarian writers like to advance.
