    Free markets are a lot more efficient than trying to run the whole economy from the top down. We just need to tax accumulated wealth.

      There are other systems than unhinged capitalism and top down communism.

      Capitalism and free markets are not the same thing, nor is either particularly necessary to the other.

        Free markets are absolutely necessary for capitalism.

        The comment I was replying to seemed to assume capitalism had something to do with resource allocation.

      All these tankies down voting you as if the entire world wasn’t running on this principle and as if something better existed. Free markets with oversight are simply unbeatable - fact.
