manage the..........economy That nonsense, so prevalent, is a barrier to popular understanding of the vexing dilemmas at hand. Individual enterprises can be successfully managed. In a free world those successful at improving other's conditions run and those that can't fail, redeploy their remaining capitol. What's generally known as the economy is the sum of those efforts and is not subject to management by central authority.
