    Any serious socialist would not be using capitalist economics and markets to determine prices.

        Would if I could, but we’ve got the benefit of hindsight and modern computing. Not sure which Marxist economists you are referring to, but if they are reinforcing capitalist economic propositions they should be discarded. The UK could have gone another way during the inflation of the 1970s, but the same old tired nonsense was wheeled out and we got the old Thatcher classic “There is no alternative.”
