   imo thinking about a new economic system requires rethinking about how goods are produced, the management of the way things are produced, how demand and supply mesh, the management of inherently scarce resources like radio spectrum and land, resolutions to scarcity when possible, how it interlocks with politics, prioritisation, etc. Communism and Capitalism present their own answers to each of these and the space in between but I think there can be other ways.

     Hmm. We have tried food stamps and mostly it's just broken and limits poor people's available choices to improve their lives.
