> But the results would be equally great like they were in Soviet Russia or Mao's China.

That's your HUGE assumption. While I didn't make any assumption, you are making a big leap of faith here without anything to back it. Pretty much what I would call nonsense.

> Why would anyone in a centrally planned economy work beyond the bare minimum needed to survive?

Sigh. I don't know, maybe ask the many artists, intellectuals, sportsmen, scientists, etc that came out of URSS? How can you be so certain about human nature when nobody can agree on that?

> Nonsense. Hayek explained why that can't work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fatal_Conceit

Ah yes, Hayek, the economist accomplice of the brutal Pinochet's dictatorship. Definitely someone without a strong bias.

Funny that they could only force people into the "free" market under the authority of a dictatorship born from a military coup.
