Just watch this, it's only 3 minutes.
Books on communism
Haven't read the others but Sowell doesn't understand Marxism at all(most "marxist" doesnt either but that's a different story). If you're dead set on reading a rigth-wing view of socialism I would suggest pic related.
Mises get some things wrong but he atleast understands that a socialist 'economy' involves the absence of prices(which his central to his criticism) and ownership of any kind; worker, state or collective.
Most historians/professors/authors today can agree that what the USSR was definitely not socialism, but it certainly does not vindicate the ideology.
If on a hot summer day I get sunburned from spending an eternity outside, do I turn to the sun to criticize and curse this effect? No, and neither should I of socialism in the USSR, but it doesn't make the burn any less real.
If you want a treatise on economic planning, you should read someone like a computer scientist, not any of these free market ideologues. It's disgusting how fucking Hayek is considered an authority on feasible economic systems, he was so deep into ideology that he believed freedom is by definition a market exchange.
many industries already run demand simulations, and computer planning is fundamentally reduced to linear system solving. whose computational time is proportional to the number of commodities, so its a p problem and therefore can be solved in a resonable time
you are retarded, there are plenty of industries through history that have worked without profit incentive, can you imagine if you applied your brainlet logic to other things
> nhs will never work, since the drive isn't profit from drug prices then no drugs will be avalible at all
>public schools will never work since profit is not the main function of them
so me a favor a go die
Every NHS in the world depends on the advancements made and paid by the u.s.' largely private system and private schools consistently outclass public schools even economically depressed urban settings.
>Reminder that separate but equal education and the college debt crisis were born under public education.
>are you stupid honestly?
Says the moron who thinks it's possible for any government to plan the economy efficiently.
You do realize that putting all your eggs in one basket is a pretty fucking stupid thing to do, yeah?
