I am not sure that there is anything new about the economy-as-complex-system observation. In fact Hayekians commonly use that observation to argue against socialism: the economy is so complex that no central authority can possibly plan and allocate resources efficiently. And there is something to that argument. But it is really only a very narrow argument against excessive micromanagement rather than against socialism as a whole. -raghu. -- You will pay for your sins.
