>There are 'incentives' for every fucking living being on this planet. Hot tip: it might have to do with material conditionsyes: but "material conditions" is familiar to every poster here, while i am quite possibly the only leftypol user who will tell you to look at incentives. part of my purpose is to invite people to look at the problem in a new way.
>Then you proceed to shift the topic entirely. because that's a reply to an entirely different post! someone said Keynesianism was a better way of managing capitalism, so there was an extended digression about why this isn't the case.

"what are the incentives, how do they lead to irrationality" - this is answered at length if you keep reading! the incentives are for legislators to focus on tax cuts that benefit incumbent firms over deregulation which benefits new firms! this is like you reading an essay that goes "this paper will demonstrate x" and immediately going

HOW WILL IT DO THAT?read on! read for the year! read on! read a little! i'll read on!given this, trying to address any of the complex points (like the distinction between an evolutionary and a planned process) would be a doomed endeavour. so the only points that feel worth addressing (because they are quite brief and easy) are:
- fuel efficiency: in a marketplace where the government sets ticket prices and restricts competition so that airlines are always profitable, the relative advantage of buying more expensive, more fuel efficient planes is lower than in one where airlin
