[PEN-L:33296] Re: Re: The Economist considers Karl Marx

that as delusional?

W once referred --as Dave Barry said, i am not making this up -- to his "investorsm er I mean my contributors."

impossibility, no?

It's a logical impossibility. If there's no state, there's no property or contract law, so no title to anything, and no sanctioned and enforceable exchanges, so no markets. This is a point Cass Sunstein has usefully insisted on over the years.
