In many countries, a large share of efficiency gains have gone to capitalists rather than workers or consumers

Efficiency gains can:

Lower the cost of living if passed on to consumers

Increase inequality if captured by capitalist owners

It depends on market competition and government policy

Occam’s Razor would favor the second explanation because it requires fewer extraordinary assumptions about reality itself

In other words, it’s simpler to explain these beliefs as products of human psychology and social dynamics than as accurate reflections of fantastical external realities
2. Psychological explanation

People adopt these beliefs due to cognitive biases, social influences, emotional needs, or mental quirks—rather than because the beliefs themselves are true

Assumptions: Human brains are prone to pattern-seeking, social conformity, and emotional reasoning
1. Belief-based explanation

People hold these beliefs because they are literally true—gods exist, global conspiracies are real, political enemies secretly control everything

Assumptions: The universe contains vast, hidden forces or supernatural agents influencing human affairs in unverifiable ways

It would just need stronger institutions, macroeconomic coordination, and safeguards against regional and political fragmentation
Yugoslavia failed not because market socialism is unrealistic, but because it was too decentralized and politically fragmented to manage itself

A disciplined, democratic, and modernized version of market socialism could absolutely work
An economy that rewards work, not capital
Worker management:

Employees vote on decisions, making them accountable for productivity and outcomes
Profit-sharing:

Workers receive bonuses or dividends from firm surplus, motivating efficiency

Performance-linked investment:

Profitable firms can expand, get more resources, or invest in R&D

Market competition :

Firms compete for customers and contracts, maintaining efficiency and innovation
Market Socialism:

Workers share in the surplus, they have a direct incentive to work efficiently and innovate

Profit signals efficiency and directs resources

The difference from capitalism is that the benefits of profit are shared collectively, not privately

They differ widely on how to get there and what exactly the post-capitalist society looks like
Socialism is about reducing inequality and increasing social control over economic resources, aiming for a society where wealth and power are less concentrated

Most socialist ideas are “post-capitalist” visions, because they assume that capitalism is either inherently unjust, unsustainable, or both
Socialism is not a single, monolithic idea

It’s a broad spectrum of related ideas and movements, generally united by the goal of addressing inequalities inherent in capitalism

Often through some form of collective ownership or control of the means of production

Beyond that, it’s highly diverse
