But a lot of the seemingly good ideas you have been presenting lately would only work if you had despotic powers and rode roughshod over individual freedoms. Think Pol Pot. He took a lot of ideas that really looked good on paper and tried to force it into reality with the result that literally millions died.
That and you really need a course in mainstream economics. The Dharma and Greg alternative economies *can't* be made to work by someone not well grounded in economy in general.

I don't take this as an attack. Why do you assume that I'm suggesting that this or something like it should be mandated as law? My thread on 1 person, 1 vehicle= waste may have sounded heavy handed....on the other hand. I like to suggest other ways of living with what resources we have. I really like the old idea of the arcology. (ps. hope you are feeling better)
