gollark: How, exactly?
gollark: You might also just want more stuff and thus more money.
gollark: The "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" thing seems like it wouldn't produce much of an incentive to work, and also people *want* stuff as well as needing some stuff.
gollark: Also better taxes on externalities.
gollark: Anyway, my economic ideals are something like: government-regulated-a-bit (mostly to deal with monopolies) free markets for most things, Georgism, smallish government, and UBI.
