Una vez me topé con un texto de un libertario (creo que era un filósofo) que establecía un experimento mental para demostrar que incluso una economía planificada dirigida por "burócratas omniscientes" produciría resultados inferiores a los de un mercado libre.
Lamentablemente he olvidado quién lo escribió y dónde encontrarlo. ¿Puedes darme algunas sugerencias? ¡Gracias!
¿ Hay alguna posibilidad de que estés hablando de Camino de servidumbre de Friedrich Hayek?
I haven't read the above book in ages, but I did stumble across the following on an amazon review of a closely related book named Individualism and Economic Order, which is a collection of several essays:
After dealing with the absurd notion of full information, Hayek turns to three issues. First, Socialists once aimed at overcoming the results of markets. Now they accept the results of market competition as a standard to aim at. Second, an omniscient and omnipresent dictator would also require omnipotence to plan an economy using their omniscience. Even if they had omniscience, the central planners would still have to work through an imperfect bureaucracy. So the notion of omnipotence is absurd. We must look at the actual bureaucratic problems that planners will face. Third, Perhaps, in a world of unchanging data Socialist planners could arrive at efficient prices for the means of production through trial and error. But, with changing data, the plans of the authority will never match the decisions of the 'man on the spot'. Hayek discusses incentive problems and knowledge problems at length, and also mentions the potential for abuse by concentrating power into the hands a few. This is the subject of his book "The Road to Serfdom".
Dadas las opiniones económicas de Hayek, no sería demasiado sorprendente encontrar un ensayo que apoye el libre mercado sobre las economías planificadas.
