here’s a cambridge PhD discussion saying what I said is a major problem with the notion. economics professors don’t actually agree with you.
the impossibility of the mixed economy is itself an actual position within professional economics.
So, why do you disagree with me?
Economics professors don’t actually unanimously agree with you. So why are you presenting your position as though it is simply what “the profession of economics” believes?
I also want to point out the smug boldness on display here. You read a wikipedia page and think you know more than someone who disagrees with you. This is why communists find liberals embarrassing to argue with.
edit: even more embarrassing, you didn’t even read the wikipedia
“Numerous economists have questioned the validity of the entire concept of a mixed economy when understood to be a mixture of capitalism and socialism. Critics who argue that capitalism and socialism cannot coexist believe either market logic or economic planning must be prevalent within an economy” is written there.
Take it up with the profession of economics. They think it makes sense. I think it makes sense. You’re the only one confused by it.
