No that was your point
*when the first*
It wan example
Didnt want to delve too much into it
And again tons of those settlements were abandoned
Innovation mainly came from the currency of trade of knowledge
But that does not answer how it can be done if the global revolution never happens
The coutries that do not have revolution will just win.
Again
or without a huge drop in standard of living
Or from the need of wartime innovation
and near stop in innovation like medicine.
Not in the US
A need for another train track comes mostly by the need to have to transport more goods along it because it is reaching a point of inefficiency (consumption of fuel, carts and goods sent)
this was a huge issue in the soviet union
Since the overwhelming majority of that is private industry.
And china
They where reall inefficient at laying track that would bring resources where they needed to go
hell still are in places like laos, and cambodia
Nvm @Goblin_Slayer_Floki i misunderstood you
Yes but they have no indicators for how to efficently move and allocate resourses
Sobthey had a lot of waste
Production is a good indicator
Overbuilding and underbuilding
Units produced by time and consuption
Labor theory of value?
Overbuilding was certaiy an issue because of the terrible bureaucracy
^^^
This os true
But how else can you have government?
Decentralisation
The soviets did not have an answer for this
Smaller communities in charge of local production
Ahhhh but thatvis a problem when your bread basket areas are needed to feed eveyone
The crimea and unkraine areas priduced most of the grain
Each area makes a count of what it makes and what it needs, and they intertrade. Basic Ricardian economics
And if you cannot distribute efficiently enought people starve
But that does not help when you do not have the transport to get the grain where it need to go
Siberia for example
Thats where the central state steps in
