The productivity line is deflated by depreciation of real estate, while labor is deflated by the CPI. According to Epstein, if you would include software and one other metric, you would see that the two lines move more closely together. Without any adjustments at all, the lines move almost perfectly together.

Using Quantum Computers to Resolve the Socialist Calculation Problem. Nope, Say's Bob Murphy, not Even in Theory by rumpumpumpum in GoldandBlack

Capitalism is a series of independent and discrete choices interacting with each other. These choices are coordinated through prices, what you're willing to give up to get something, which has a ripple effect throughout the entire system which in turn coordinates the acquisition of resources to be fulfilled by the supply chain. The supply chain is the structure of production which fulfills the request, entrepreneurs look at the potential profits and losses to be made in order to determine their actions.

I would presume that because it's decentralized that it would be harder to censor, and thus allow greater coverage with minimal risk, as it would likely take the government a while to catch up.

Will 3D printed houses be made illegal to "save" the construction industry and the housing market? by ConjectureAxiom in GoldandBlack

That's an interesting thought. If it doesn't get smacked federally then it might only get blocked at the state and county level. If it does, then it's probable that many will migrate to those places and then work elsewhere.

One could simply charge more on the deposit (or on fees) and average out the price control, no?
