There are some problems with this video, firstly, making accusations that the Austrians are simply Neo-Classical economists is a bit flawed. Austrians make no such assumptions that man exists in a state of homo economicus, or that they're perpetually calculating everything continually in their heads and hence, "acting rationally". This becomes more ironic, when you actually begin to cite Lange and the other Market Socialists, who did nothing but apply standard Neo-Classical price theory, and called it a day. Austrian Economists, especially Don Lavoie have pointed out that the debate was never about static equilibrium, but rather dynamic equilibrium. With static equilibrium, you can actually assume homo economicus, coupled with the Neo-Classical perception of an auctioneer simply calling out prices as a given, of course you have a formula for something wrong. This is the problem, Lange made so many unrealistic assumptions in his theorem, and fundamentally missed the point of what Mises and Hayek were trying to talk about. This is the only way you can justify any sort of, "argument" against the ECP. Like Kantorovich resorting to Neo-Classical economics, and slapping Socialism on the label. Pathetic video
The first example of market failure of course corresponded to Price's Law of Socialist Examples. This law states that examples societies give of market failure well be examples of government failures and usually in the midst regulated industries.
I love when people call laws, stuff that is not a law in any scientific sense. Also, market is regulated exactly because it creates socially undesirable outcomes and cannot exist without regulations. So obvious market failour happen in such a context since any other context is impossible.
@Socially necessary labor determines the value of the goods. Okay, but what labor will be Socially necessary? @labor that generates use value of course. Circular
Any appearance of market efficiency and scalability is thrown out the window once you modify the corresponding models to properly take into account the non-omniscience of participating agents, especially if you introduce a dependence relation on their utility functions or require that a certain vector should be a component of any vector assigned to any of the buyers. The more real world assumptions you introduce, the more the extreme inefficiency of any actually existing market comes to the fore.
Austrians make no such assumptions, those are the formalists of the Neo-Classical tradition, the market and the institutions that arose organically exist BECAUSE man is not homo economicus like you said
The economic calculation problem never assumes pareto efficiency, it’s meant to reveal the underlying allocative dynamics of markets operating in a disequilibriated world. Austrian economics utilizes realist assumptions in contrast to the non-realist assumptions used by most economic approaches which legitimately take cardinal utility functions seriously
The Great Depression is not an example of the free market. Principally because 1. The monetary supply had been distorted especially by those socialists countries prime example being Weimar Germany. 2. Because of the interventions that had only extended the effects of the crisis. Such as the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations price fixing, the Hoover administration not allowing the liquidation of firms and freedom of the labour market to adjust. What could’ve been a 6-8 month slow down turned into a decade of pain. It was principally government interference with the economy though the printing of money and artificial and arbitrary setting of interest rates that had caused such huge misallocation in the economy.
As a business owner I know what would happen if I left my workers to their own devices for one month. Day one would be a slow down,1st week would be one big coffee break,2nd week they would punch in and go home,then my inventory would disappear etc. Business owners provide the jobs,the capital to pay workers in slow periods,take all the risks,the stress of failure etc etc. Go start your own business if you think your being exploited😂😂😂😂 99% of you would fail the other 1% attend or speak at communist symposiums 😂😂😂😂😂
Socially necessary labor time is in correspondence to the wishes of consumers, i.e ultimately it is the most demanded goods on the market which would have increased labor time as capital pours into those industries from less profitable sectors. The labor theory of value is a description of this process, it is not an ontological description of reality as opposed to subjective valuation which drives human action which in turn dictates socially necessary labor time.
Labor theory value, wants to make all communists believe that a porcelain cup with a svastika has more value than a plastic cup with Karl Marx's face. Lenin used fascist economy called NEP, the same one that China is using today because Deng Xiaoping was Bukharin's student who not only supported NEP but fascist countries for the same reasons. Do you realize that you call NEP a socialist economy ? It is like calling China a socialist country. these confusions happening because you don't know the three different type of economic systems. - capitalism where people can invest their money in any political party or product they want - fascism where people are not allowed to invest their money on any other political party except the one in power but they can invest in any product they want.. - socialism (aka palace economy from bronze age) where people are not allowed to have money to invest Not only that, but saying that a worker's democracy will replace the price signals without an open source digital platform means that you don't know how the process will work, how the workers will decide ... your wish to bring a fascist economy like NEP until worker's democracy will come is like saying to do evil things to go to paradise. Prove that worker's democracy can exist through an open source digital platform. Create the software and we will test it through simulations. If it is better than capitalism, then we will vote you through current democracy (or even better workers will create their own companies in capitalist society using this software)

I mean marginal utility theory is not “subjectivist and idealist” as you understand it. The difference between objective and subjective is not the difference between the collective and individual. It’s the ontological conception of whether X commodity has an inherent value or a purely subjective and constructed value, in advanced economies.

The biggest traditional problem in marxist thought is the tension between materialism and ethical teleology which supposedly inevitably results in communism. This Channel is really becoming a joke in terms of academic output
What are you even talking about? There is no empirical basis for marginal utility, it’s an unproven assumption that is based on religious belief, it doesn’t even account for the trillions spent in shaping consumer behaviour, branding, cultural hegemony and so on.

The main factors which will enable any western industrial society to thrive are; self-sufficiency, total sovereignty, conservation of tradition, religion, and culture (that includes patriarchy), strict (but just) laws, strict border controll, prohibition of any organisation/religion/media which undermine any of these factors. A communist economy could work, a capitalist economy could work, but a mix would probably be best (mixed economy)
Both capitalist and communist economies have been tried; communism did work to a certain degree, but was usually hampered by inefficiency, waste and corruption at the top- as well as a very limited amount of personal freedom for the individuals within it.

Central Planning is hierarchical. I believe in human equality. Markets have no inherent hierarchy. Sure some players might accumulate more wealth and therefore receive an outsized influence on the market, but redistribution can easily manage that without out the need for hierarchy. And while yes, players within the market can have hierarchies inside their organizations, we can actually curb that as well by injecting markets inside of our businesses. Meaning the economy is non-hierarchical all the way down. Finally we can make our government non-hierarchical as well through direct democracy modeled after open sources software for the legislative branch, and privatization of agencies for the executive branch. Note: Privatization of executive agencies sounds bad to anyone to the Left of Mitt Romney, but in a scenario where the privatized agencies are non-hierarchical, non-profit, and paid for via single payer it’s actually awesome.
