Anarchy of production
In Marxist theory, anarchy of production is a characteristic feature of all commodity production based on private property, which is the primary mode of production in the capitalist market economy.[1] The term is often used as a criticism of market economies, emphasizing their chaotic and volatile nature in contrast to the supposedly stable nature of planned economies, as proposed by Marxists.
Examples
The results of the unplanned "anarchy" of the capitalist market system can be seen in the crisis of overproduction, and underconsumption. One such example, according to the Socialist Party of Great Britain, was the 2008 financial crisis.[2]
gollark: I could, at least, do stuff like install spatial IO "teleporters", and install spatial IO systems in random corridors.
gollark: Unfortunately, we don't have [REDACTED], so I can't really do non-euclidean spaces without (very obvious) spatial IO hacks.
gollark: Why would I just rebuild that? It would be cooler to make a giant sprawling messy complex.
gollark: Also suspiciously easy door locks.
gollark: That gives me an idea - I should make some sort of giant potatOS research complex on CN and pack it with random dangerous machinery, valuable loot, and warning signs.
