I guess I’m mostly reacting to RAND and its ilk, having read the article about Schelling’s book (which I intend to buy), and am thinking of market failures, as well.
OK Mr Bayeslisk, I am one boxing you. I am upvoting this post now knowing that you predicted I would upvote it and intended all along to include or add some links to the above post so I don’t have to do a lot of extra work to figure out what RAND is and what book you are talking about.

That is actually not true at all. I was actually planning on abandoning this trainwreck of an attempt at dissent. But since you’re so nice:

Apparently I was right to one box all along! Thanks!
Are you thinking of failures of market alternatives as well?
