gollark: I have not actually read any of it. I just said it seemed interesting as an idea.
gollark: There's this interesting book (http://radicalmarkets.com/) - I haven't read it, but I have heard lots about it - apparently it has policy proposals for reworking markets to do some stuff more effectively, which is what I'm interested in.
gollark: Perhaps you could solve all those issues, but I think it would be much harder than solving the ones we have *now*.
gollark: I mean, some of the issues I have would be gone without market systems, yes, but you would then introduce new much bigger ones.
gollark: No, I like that one.
