Abstract
Extensive and expanding government intervention in the economy, it has been argued in the preceding chapter, is likely to retard economic development and, ultimately, to undermine market capitalism as a pluralistic, competitive, horizontally organized, spontaneous, and open economic system. One alternative to market capitalism is command capitalism, which substitutes state coordination for market coordination.
