This has the odor of the kind of shenanigans Mao engaged in in the "Great
Leap Forward". Yes, there's decentralization. But without the incentive of
property, things will fall apart pretty fast as the small local "cells"
("communes" in Mao-speak) simply recreate bureaucratic bumbling on a
distributed level. The "Great Leap Forward" set China's economy back 30
years . . .

"We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know
enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another
question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species."
