I agree whole-heartedly that the free market is an awesome, powerful, often-counterintuitively-effective thing.
But isn't there something to be said for some forms of central planning? Theory of the firm, multicellular organisms sending themselves to the moon, the empirical adaptive fitness of lumbering nation-states over freemen upon the land, etc.
I'm pretty far right, but I see a lot of problems with the free market.
None of this is to imply that capitalism has not been hacked. It is to imply that it is sometimes hard to distinguish the hacking from guardrails.
