you want to express your intrinsic values, but have to live with and for others. "How can I behave with urgency and conviction when so much is vague or in doubt" anarcho-syndicalism wants unity between self and society libertarians want to deny the role of collective action as much as possible book seeks to resolve this as an economist. lol rationality ofc rationality is only as good as your unexamined premises TENSION between: values and opportunities (scarce) we need groups to distribute/mediate conflict for opportunities, and to profit from cooperation attaching a price to goods and services is efficient (for a very economic meaning of efficient) advantages: can theoretically balance itself, and the participants only really need to know their own needs, plus they get to feel free disadvantages: the degree of freedom is often very small, propagates selfishness, and therefore should not be the sole system price system does not care for justice of income/distribution – it doesn't produce anything defensible you cannot price some things – pollution of common goods like air/water you cannot price some things without making them impossible: public roads, particularly in cities some things can be priced, but not bought: trust, loyalty, truth so both for more efficiency and for more justice, we need something more (nb: or other) than a price-based market enter stage left: government. better at realizing trust/empathy/externalities, but very limited by corruption (through power and money both) but lol, nobody has good suggestions for distributive justice, except "not like that!!!" humans want different things. providing them all with the same things is not justice and NO DEAR AI PEOPLE, you cannot from the outside predict what somebody wants ethics/morality are another ~institution that is necessary. (aka: conscience) leads to some communal responsibility communal responsibility and individual needs are in conflict communal responsibility is even more complex than you think – maybe completing a nonsensical action is important because it strengthens community? what about an actually harmful one? go back on a promise if premises change??
