I think we should provide for needs through governmental decree Fire, Police, Medical, Basic Nutritional Need, Universal Basic Income, Water, Sewer, Electricity, and Internet (I probably missed something).
I think everything else should be handled with regulated markets. What I mean is wants should be handled by what you want within a market that provides based on supply and demand BUT externalities need to be managed and the invisible hand of the market does a piss poor job of making companies green and clean.
I also think that the large oligopolies need to be broken up; no you don't get to design ICs, make ICs, package them, AND create the platforms they will be used in the market (I'm looking at you Intel). That is a definition of price fixing where the invisible hand of the market cannot do what it does best. I would also bust up Google, Microsoft, fuck 'em all actually. Split them up and spread out the wealth. Increase competition.
