Verbatim quote · from the corpus

“Bureaucratic economics, the “command economy,” organizes distribution of labor and resources through a hierarchical series of imperatives; it is either a parasitic excrescence (even if serving otherwise indispensable purposes) upon the market, or it is constructed in the ruins of the market, and leaves nothing but ruin in its own wake.”

— Adam Katz, The Economic Imperative · Aug 2009 · GABlog
