Yours is a brilliant post. It illuminates the problem of centralized decision making in complex societies and the inevitable unexpected consequences. See any list of characteristics of dynamic complex systems and you will find unexpected consequences prominent in the list. See any textbook concerning organizational theory and design to get a sense of what the consequences of centralized decision making can be when the organization (nation) is complex and the problems are unpredictable and rapidly evolving.

Thanks. Some of that got a comment of “somewhat cynical” from a prof in grad school.

But it was my distillation of what I had read for about 14 years prior to that class, especially The Abolition of Man, The Road to Serfdom, The Law, and Economics in One Lesson.
