Of course entrepreneurs can be employed by a planning agencies and often were. The calculation and entrepreneurship arguments are distinct arguments aimed at different issues. The calculation argument is supposed to show that planned systems will generate problems that become more severe the greater extent of the planning, cultivating in the ...

10506 [lbo-talk] Stalinism (was Eric Hobsbawm) -- rank: 190

What he favored and what he argued for in his papers on the calculation debate were not necessarily the same thing. He ended up practically as a market socialist or advocate of market reforms. The calculation papers were, as you say, a theoretical contribution about how a pure planned economy could ...

10507 [lbo-talk] Stalinism (was Eric Hobsbawm) -- rank: 190

As I understand him, Lange advocated different things at different times. In a 1940 letter to Hayek, Lange said that his writings on the calculation debates were primarily theoretical in character and were not meant to layout practical policies. In fact he said in that letter, that he favored a market ...

10508 [lbo-talk] Bounty offered in Pakistan activist shooting -- rank: 190

Haven't read Graeber so I am talking through my hat, but it seems to me that, first, there is a connection between honor and humiliation -- Nietzsche and Hegel territory --but I doubt that the humiliation of women generated honor for the warrior elite. Women were too insignificant. A peasant beating ...

One thing I should add, as someone who currently has the pleasure of living under drones that aren't my country's: They have a way of pissing everyone right the fuck off. When you hear them buzzing overhead late at night, and you don't know if they're just ...

10514 [lbo-talk] Stalinism (was Eric Hobsbawm) -- rank: 190

My original question did not refer to the Soviet Union but to use of the word to label parties or individuals in the capitalist world. Was the French Communist Party in (say) 1968 a "Stalinist Party"? If it was, what features identified it as suc? Was the SWP in 1968 a ...

10515 [lbo-talk] Stalinism (was Eric Hobsbawm) -- rank: 190

I think it likely that a Party or government lead by Trotsky, Bukharin, or almost any of the old Bolsheviks would have been less savage and destructive than Stalinism. Stalin was a mad tyrant in the tradition of Ivan the Terrible, whom he much admired. Trotsky, etc., were not civil libertarian ...
