I think what is missing from economics generally is the collective psychological demand side. I don’t mean HOW it works (which the Austrian school aims to do). I’m talking about what drives the collective desire, and why it matters- why this scales up from economics, into mimesis, into first principles/religious systems
What is often forgotten, urbanized socialism was tried before, in Sumer and Babylonia. There was no private property, the primary product was barley, the land was temple owned, the harvested grain was kept in common in central granaries. There was no money yet, so markets in general were tiny affairs (like flea markets today). People were allocated chits to withdraw grain for consumption.
This is a genuinely fascinating conversation. Thanks for putting this out there. Brit loving your content.

That will be a great time for a conversation.
@@TheMeaningCode I am patient. We’ll talk at some point, I’m sure 🤗
