Estimate the Cost of Immortality

Money (AKA the free market economy) is a way of allocating resources efficiency. The alternative - a command economy - is where some central agent decides how resources should be allocated.

Command hierachies are only one alternative to markets. Tribes and networks are two other forms.

Wikipedia for example creates a lot of value with being structured as a network.

Wikipedia for example creates a lot of value with being structured as a network.

Which fails completely when the subject is in any way political or controversial. And by fail completely, I mean produces articles which anti-correlate with reality.

WTF are these? I have never heard of them. Sounds fishy but I don't have time to definitively debunk. [...] Wikipedia is a ultimately a hierarchy where certain committees of high-power admins get the final say. Also, wikipedia isn't really like an economy - the product types (articles) naturally match 1-1 with the producers (experts on that subject). There aren't any intermediate products or supply chains. As a resource allocation problem, wikipedia is trivial.
