There's a universe of possibilities between unrestrained globalised hyper-financialised capitalism, and murdering people who wear glasses and making everybody work on agriculture a la Cambodia.

Ideas like Georgism allow us to retain the most useful features of a market economy while taming its brutal, violent, undemocratic features. That's the premise of market socialism in general.
