So you’re proposing a new economic policy. Here’s why your policy will not work.
Your policy depends on science/theorizing that:
☐ has been replicated only once
☐ has failed to replicate
☐ for which there exist no replication attempts
☐ was last taken seriously sometime around 1900
☐ requires a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with 200 free parameters to perfectly track reality perfectly
Your policy would:
☐ disincentivize good things
☐ incentivize bad things
☐ both
☐ be wildly unpopular, even though you think it's the best thing since sliced bread (it's not)
☐ You seem to think that taking options away from people helps them
Your policy just reinvents
☐ land-value taxes, but worse
☐ universal basic income, but worse
☐ price discrimination, but worse
☐ demand subsidy, but worse
☐ demand subsidy, better, but that's still no excuse
☐ Your policy sneakily redistributes money from poor to rich people
☐ Your policy only works if every country on earth accepts it at the same time
☐ You actually have no idea what failure/success of your policy would look like
You claim it fixes
☐ climate change
☐ godlessness
☐ police violence
☐ wet socks
☐ teenage depression
☐ rising rents
☐ war
☐ falling/rising sperm counts/testosterone levels
You seem to assume that
☐ privatization always works
☐ privatization never works
☐ your country will never become a dictatorship
☐ your country will always stay a dictatorship
the cost of coordination is
☐ negligible
☐ zero
☐ negative
☐ Your policy is a Pareto-worsening
In conclusion,
☐ You have copied and mashed together some good ideas with some mediocre ideas
☐ You have not even tried to understand basic economics/political science/sociology concepts
☐ Living under your policy is an adequate punishment for inventing it
