Yes, there is a specific path. One of the major themes of the interview is how socialism is efficient (and the future)", "capitalism leads to chaos" that may seem foreign to a lot of people now because pretty much no one believes in it anymore. At the time of the interview, a lot of people did[1]. Every econ 101 book (from high school/university) I've had refers to the debate about the economic calculation problem, and they're pretty clear about which side was right. This is not some "perennial ideological debate" anymore, but an interesting and very important historical development. You messed up here. The relevance of the economic calculation problem should be obvious, and is not more ideological than the top comment of this post. [1] Wells: "Recently I was dining with the Royal Society, our great English scientific society. The President’s speech was a speech for social planning and scientific control. Thirty years ago, they would not have listened to what I say to them now. Today, the man at the head of the Royal Society holds revolutionary views, and insists on the scientific reorganisation of human society. Your class-war propaganda has not kept pace with these facts. Mentality changes." |
