Classic case for capitalism is that it'll usually win in the shortest terms. For example. you privatize education, so less tax burden on citizens. Of course by turning your education into a profit-machine, you're changing the objective function of your system. Over time, your system will optimize for profit instead of the optimizing for better education. Same applies to reducing protections for health, food, family programs, etc. What I'm saying is, starting from the same point, invisible hand cannot compete with planned systems on longer periods.

I read the responses to this post π Nothing starts out a productive conversation like ignoring data and hurling insults.
