The Myth of Centralized Planning

You've heard the claim a thousand times, without government, society would collapse.

It's one of the most repeated lines in modern history, but here's the shocking part.

Every time a society puts its fate in the hands of government planners, the collapse comes

from the planning itself. For generations, people have been told a comforting

story, a story repeated in classrooms, newsrooms, and official speeches,

a story meant to sound rational, responsible, and even necessary. It goes something

like this. Only government can prevent chaos. Only officials can coordinate a complex

economy. Without direction from above, everything falls apart.
