Ma üritasin lugeda ingl. keelsest vikipeediast Misese arvamust sotsialismi kohta, aga tänu keerulisele sõnavarale sain ma aru üsna vähe.

Tekst ise on siin:

''Mises argued that money is demanded for its usefulness in purchasing other goods, rather than for its own sake and that any unsound credit expansion causes business cycles. His other notable contribution was his argument that socialism must fail economically because of the economic calculation problem – the impossibility of a socialist government being able to make the economic calculations required to organize a complex economy. Mises projected that without a market economy there would be no functional price system, which he held essential for achieving rational and efficient allocation of capital goods to their most productive uses. If capital goods are the subject of neither rent nor exchange, as per private ownership of those means of production, then no barter terms or money prices can arise for them. Without the common nominal index of money pricing that allows comparison of costs of production to likely revenues, there can be no rational allocation of diverse capital goods in the production of diverse consumer goods whose production requires some use of scarce capital. In a socialist society, capital is not distributed according to the more efficient—thus profitable—capital structures, but rather to any use a theoretical socialist planner sees fit without the aid of monetary price signals to compare the profitability in a given use of capital.

According to Mises, socialism must fail, as demand cannot be known without prices. Therefore, socialist waste of capital goods is as chronic as the incentives for production and retention of capital are low, while capital goods are coercively monopolised by a dysfunctional State operating with only the data pertaining to interpersonal comparisons of utility, as per democratic production. These data are not sufficient for economic calculation, and therefore are not sufficient for efficient use and allocation of capital. Capital's place in a free market is ordained by the prices set by private owners of the means of production, who keep capital where its production is remunerated best by consumers, and who liquidate it and pass it to other uses if production is bankrupt. In socialism, such means for liquidation of capital goods, and the passage or maintenance of the means of production across extremely diverse applications throughout the divisions of labour according to the expense or cheapness of bidding capital away from vital production, is simply not present.''


Ilmselgelt ma ei oota pikka tõlget, aga mõni inimene kes on majanduse alal tark ja saab asjast aru isegi ilma teksti lugemata võiks lühidalt seletada, miks sotsialism ei toimi.

nii kaua kui on süsteemides petiseid ja nõrku altkäemaksumaiaid otsustajaid, nii kaua ükski -ism ei tööta.

eeldatakse alati et kõik on ausad.

Asi pole majanduses, asi on inimestes.
Sotsialism saab toimida ainult läbi vägivalla.

Kuigi sotsialistlik süsteem on Venemaal ja Ida-Euroopas kokku varisenud, siiski huvitaval kombel toimib sotsialism tänapäeva Hiinas üpriski edukalt! Kuigi Hiina peab end sotsialistlikuks-kommunistlikuks riigiks, riiki juhib Kommunistlik Partei, läheb Hiina majandusel hästi ja ta on kujunemas 21.sajandil maailma juhtivaks jõuks!

Mis kasu on edukast või näiliselt edukast majanusest, kui inimesed rabavad 14 tundi päevas ja kuus päeva nädalas tööd teha, nad ei tohi rääkida mida mõtlevad, rahvastel keelatakse iseolemine, inimesed kaovad, neid piinatakse, saadetakse laagritesse ja vaid selle eest, et nad tahavad elementaarseid inimõiguseid.

Sellisel kujul sotsialism toimib.
Punased khmeerid suutsid isegi kommunismi mõneks ajaks tekitada. Raha polnud ja kõik olid võrdsed, kes erines teistest, näiteks kandis prille, see hukati.
