Flagship project

The limits of economic calculation

A proposed research program on what machines can optimize, what planners cannot know, and what only action and exchange can reveal.

Field of inquiry

What this work encompasses

  • Machine planning
  • Dispersed knowledge
  • Entrepreneurial discovery
  • Prices and ownership
  • Formal limits

This is a proposed research program, not a claim that the formal work is complete.

The project asks which knowledge exists before action, which knowledge is created only through action, and whether a system without genuine ownership, exchange, loss, and entrepreneurial discovery can reproduce the coordination it seeks to administer.
