Concerning the Economic Calculation Problem

This torrent contains two files. One is a summary of a discussion of the Economic Calculation Problem, by economist and market abolitionist John O'Neill. It is taken from his book “The Market”. I have tried to present his view as faithfully as I could, and large parts of it are direct quotations of him. This was written for the purpose of an ongoing debate in regards to a Resource Based Economy, and was first posted the on the forums of the Zeitgeist Movement. This is no way to be taken as an indication of professor O'Neill's support of said organization, or even his awareness of it's existence. I believe a lot of this is relevant to a RBE, but bear in mind that non-market alternatives can take other forms than that. Bear in mind also that only the ideas in a single publication are represented, and do not necessarily give a complete picture of professor O'Neill's views, or even necessarily confirm to his views after the time of the publication. The second file is a short summary of the discussion on the ECP that took part on said forum. Any and all reproduction, use or copy of these text is quite legal and highly encouraged.

I'm all for reading debates on economic issues such as the calculation problem but i think by being associated with a ridiculous movement such as zeitgeist, taints it a little bit. For the same reason I don't read most of those awful "catholic libertarians". The reason may seem petty, I know, but I have a knee jerk reaction everytime but they air those darn Zeitgeist movies too much in my country.
I will read the O'Neill piece, though.
