Stop Me Before I Vote Again

Couple of question-quiblbes.

The warrants system looks to be easy to game in the short run, thus allowing the defectors in essential industries to gain a position in which punishing them would necessarily also be a collective punishment.

Tracking the warrants looks to be a big full time job, with a perverse handicap. On the face, it looks very good for all concerned; less onerous than taxation and a balanced system would be flexible in ways that are out of reach for a tax code. I think the default assumption on the regulatory and consumer end would be an assumption of cooperation. But to be properly regulated, it would take consumer-driven control with real teeth, exercised in a way that's immediately responsive to shenanigans. Social ownership is great, but it's also ponderous.

the warrents are purchased post facto
ie after the purchases and sales
they are the "value added " in those sales

you can't store em up
they go on the market if you don't use whatever credits you qualify for
ie they are in essence tradeable tax credits

gaming recall is in the context of a jobbler class dictatorship
we welcome the gaming
all the better to show trial with

btw the project here prolly faces iterations
of itself to arrive at a durable system

will early versions look like that lapidary montage clip of early winged
heavier then air flight ??
yup

that's why i'd pilot the system on a choice sector or two first

btw

some clever slavic gosplan types
in the early 90's wanted to use this system
for the moment of marketization
obviously the kleptos and their MNC backers had better ideas eh ??

marvelous passage in MAP blurb
i should have posted this up

it contains the delightful
abba neologism
realytic

"The methodology is realytic*...a contrast with analytic. .. we are primarily concerned with solving real problems... (MAP )also contributes ... to extending theoretical understanding, but... only where necessary to solve the problem at hand."

i like stressing this point

the model and the modeled need not be exactly parallel
if feed back exists eh ??

the mission is predicable controled price level change

something that amounts to a suicidal innovation
for private profit pooling free range MNCs
hence the power grab fantasy element

but as agit prop
map is great
it shows the present system
we joblings
tolerate
is quite transcendable

merely a historically evolved
system of institutional ways and means

a stage by stage
"phenotype by phenotype "
socially constructed instrumentality
posing as a providential secular rock of ages

"Social ownership is great, but it's also ponderous"
the market mechanism at the core here i think adds mid range firm level
multiply and independently targeted
missions

i agree about ulitmo
household consumer -buyer sovereignty

the power to start a firm is very important
nothing here makes that monolithic

recall the dome credit model

with its mutually independent sources of credit
operated by personal gain motivated
but escrowed payouted
agents
with in essence all their bodies in the great game of venturing
not just their skin

as usual i left a gaping hole

why would map make battling deflation easy ??

well today's controversy among those
big footers playing the role
of well intended whole people thinkers
rests on the inflation taboo
yes induced inflation is an obvious and easy cure for deflation
and yes
uncle produced inflation
would not exceed the technical methods availible to the fed
and those methods are well enough understood to be used immediately by our policy econ cons
but...
the only inflation worth inducing here
as many prudent chaps submit
ia a controled inflation
not some wild spiral like hit us in the roaring 70's
--when MAP was created--
we need a controled infdlation
for this
--as well as a multitude
of other macro tasks --

like controled fires or implosions
controled inflation
would be a dandy policy force
even now
but our present system has no institutionalized way
to control an inflation
once the fed starts one

enter MAP !!!!

"consumer-driven control with real teeth, exercised in a way that's immediately responsive to shenanigans'
we have the experience of the ration system in the war years
as social data on mass enforcement
i haven't read the literature on this if it exists in any centralized and compact form

but some voice in my head sez i read somewhere
plain folks made good price hike vigilantes
once "the system" encouraged citizen reporters

as to the shadow like prices of intermediate products

well there like always
the colusion must be fought ultimately by releasing competitors into the markets
and keeping the market structures operating
"as if " perfectly competitive

the beauty of the best
of the neo classical results
they show use where cleo will eventually use us to go

the real rational ??

i say yes
correctly defined
ie
a collective rationality
that in each agent is incomplete and
inconsistent and is globally driven on
by it's incompletenes and inconsistencies :

a "self rationalizing "
deep structure
that is an historical product

a deep structure
that re4veals itself to itself
always massively infested with new
transient forms of irrationality

of course these marvelous iraationalities
as dosty noticed are the unknowing termites
of the next "higher deep structure rationality "
of course dosty saw it as holy mother russia
but that's close enough for this kind of
prophetic big picture work
