There have been errors throughout history regarding every economic endeavor. And this, certainly does not mean that the current model is a better one. Each time it depends on conditions so the most important factor in the long run is being able to adapt with minimum consequences. It is obvious that the USSR did not focus on its economy but rather -after the tremendous initial boom- on the (cold) war. And USSR is not the only one to blame for this.  The stationer's company is absurd by our standards -by the conditions of our days. This is definitely not what I had in mind. I tried to expand a bit in some post back here. The main idea is to hire artists like you hire teachers or professors. And definitely give them an institutional function.This is already happening today on a very small and limited way. Expand on this.The only "problem" I see with this is that policy makers might be afraid of the political change involved in this. Even if you dare change just a part of the economy this way, if it succeeds, then it may start to seem obvious to people that other things in the economy must change too. But who really knows with the current turn on things, eh? Banks for example are nationalized all over the world. Countability control practices may change in a way that push for further change in politics -a push towards a system that is more open for the public and less close to the tricks of tycoons. I am not saying I am optimism but I do not lose hope -the important thing is what you choose to put your hope in.</blockquote>
