Calculation Problem
The idea of Socialism is at once grandiose and simple. . . . We may say, in fact, that it is one of the most ambitious creations of the human spirit, . . . so magnificent, so daring, that it has rightly aroused the greatest admiration. If we wish to save the word from barbarism we have to refute socialism, but we cannot thrust it carelessly aside.
~ Ludwig von Mises
