Honest question: I fucking hate neolibs just as much as the next guy and the idea that people always make rational decisions as consumers is nothing more than a myth, but didn't they sorta kinda have a point when they said that prices are necessary in an economy as a system of information?
I currently struggle to imagine how a planned economy can take into account sudden shifts in demand and react flexibly to people changing their mind about shit they want, or providing them with a vast choice of goods that they can try until they find one that matches their needs. I feel like this is only possible with some amount of speculation or trial-and-error, and cannot be reasonably planned ahead.
Are there good marxist economic theories that address the "information problem" - in other words, how a central planning commitee can figure out the preferences in a society efficiently and then also respond to them without making concessions to Porky? I am already familiar with Oskar Lange, Paul Cockshott and such, but I feel like I haven't really found an adequate answer to this issue yet.
All this talk about emergency decommissioning governments is quite silly
>I am already familiar with Oskar Lange, Paul Cockshott
Then why make this thread. As people like these two have said, we can use prices and demand feedback even if the MOP are collectively owned.
You artificially make this an issue if you just want to be differently for the sake of it.
>>2770692Because this discourse might be more than just Oskar Lange and Paul Cockshott? Imagine lmao
This fucking thread again
