gollark: The incentives problems: central planners aren't really as affected by how well they do their jobs as, say, someone managing a firm, and you probably lack a way to motivate people "on the ground" as it were.
gollark: What, so you just want us to be stuck at one standard of living forever? No. Technology advances and space mining will... probably eventually happen.
gollark: But that step itself is very hard, and you need to aggregate different people's preferences, and each step ends up being affected by the values of the people working on it.
gollark: There are too many goods produced for individuals to practically go around voting on what the outputs of the economy should be, so at best they can vote on a summary which someone will turn into a full thing.
gollark: Also, you need to somehow decide on what should be produced.
