How to manage the supply of public goods https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2024/01/15/how-to-manage-the-supply-of-public-goods/. Public goods are supplied universally without the intention to profit from doing so. In the neoliberal era we have, however, imposed a for-profit management model on their supply. No wonder they are failing so badly.

@RichardJMurphy people ARE realistically saying there's an alternative to government. And there is: broadly, anarcho-communism. Although getting it to work at scale in the very limited time we have left before the really starts to bite would be a very big ask.

@simon_brooke @RichardJMurphy People are saying this, but is it realistic? I’ve not seen a detailed plan for how to get there from where we are, for example.

@KimSJ @RichardJMurphy well, that's a fair point. The first step in such a plan would have be to achieve substantially more than half the population in favour of it, and at present we're almost certainly below 5%.

So if it is ever to be done at all, there's a LOT of work to be done both in path-finding and in evangelism.
