The US has doubled its national debt in one weekend
I was thinking more along the lines of Marxism (we share all but there is no central command), Internetism (market economy but translucent and no central command, no guidance) or a pure dictatorship (with me as dictator).

I think the last one is the only realistic option.

The US has doubled its national debt in one weekend
The last time banks were not bailed out it let to the 1929 crash and the Great Depresssion which let to WWII. Dont get me wrong, I am all for letting banks rot in hell, but our economy as currently setup is based on this make-believe system where if one card falls, the entire house will come down.

Any ideas on better economic systems?

Doing same thing repeatedly & expecting a different result
That looks like insane fun you mean. I have to pay large sums to get into sixflags and this lucky hamster gets his rides for free.

German town removes all traffic signs to reduce accidents
Shared space was first brought into attention by a Dutchman called Hans Monderman. There are several examples of shared space already, including one in the US and several in the Netherlands and UK. This works everywhere independent of culture or time. It might be size dependent though, it hasnt been tried in a town larger then 50k I believe.

We can live without rules. It just requires a bit of faith in humanity.
