Has John Roemer Resurrected Market Socialism ?
ohn E. Roemer, a leading socialist economist, has recently proclaimed a “Future for Socialism” (Roemer 1994). His book is advertised as being “measured, highly accessible, and most of all compelling.” I have come to the opposite conclusions. Roemer’s most provocative assertion is his claim to have found “ways of reformulating the concept of market socialism in response to the Hayekian critique”...
متن کاملInformation and Economics
In a series of recent writings we have sought to re-open a debate over the economics of socialism. We have argued that the collapse of the Soviet system does not necessitate the conclusion that all forms of socialist economy are doomed to inefficiency.

I come to the question as an historian of economic thought who has studied the Austrian tradition, and in particular the contributions of F.A. Hayek, who is remembered among information theorists for his early writings on “the knowledge problem.” An analysis of h...
متن کاملFundamental Theory of Institutions: a Lecture in Honor of Leo Hurwicz
We follow Hurwicz in considering fundamental questions about social institutions. Hurwicz's concept of incentive compatibility may help clarify old debates about socialism, where such questions arose. Moral-hazard models show disadvantages of socialism, while adverse-selection models may delimit its advantages. We review Hurwicz's general theory of how institutions can be enforced in larger gam...
