    They’re “hard issues” because we don’t have a centrally planned economy, we have to rely on the market to provide solutions

    As humans are very bad a predicting the future, centrally planned economies come with so many added problems that market based solutions are frequently more realistic.

      Every corporation is centrally planned.

      I recommend reading The People’s Republic of Walmart. Businesses have figured out central planning, there’s no reason it can’t be done for nations.

          Walmart isn’t a federation, it’s very centrally planned. It’s also larger than a lot of nations.

          The only thing missing is a military.

            Are you really this poorly educated in economics that you do not get that for profit businesses and nation states function under completely different realities?

              Last I checked, businesses and nations exist in the same reality and follow the same physical laws.

              Central planning works and you have been lied to by those same businesses that don’t want to be nationalized.

                They function under entirely different realities when it comes to economics. If you need this explained to you then you shouldn’t be making definitive statements about anything related to economics in any regard. Microeconomics and macroeconomics exist for a reason.

                Below is a link to MIT’s open coursework providing free classes on specific subjects. You might consider looking into intro micro and macro.
