Capitalism for when there is scarcity (building hi-tech for example) state controlled "socialism" for things needed by everyone (schools, hospitals, roads, internet) seems like a smart start.

Food could go under capitalism if heavy regulated, govt can sponsor art etc. Vote for what suits you.

Yeah and no more lobbying or mega rich(like 10M€ max until at least everyone can eat, read and go to the hospital for free).

Historically socialists have been better at utilizing scarce resources. Look at the 50 percent economic growth per decade achieved by soviet centralized economic planning before calculators and machine learning were a thing.

Look at this where? In which metric are you measuring economic growth?

Pretty sure I got it from growth crystal, a very dry economics book. I dont remember by which metric but you could probably find it within the first few chapters.

Cool, I checked out Growth Crystal and it looks like a PowerPoint presentation at a timeshare pitch.

Yes they're trying to sell you on the idea of creating a dual currency system. They make a lot of money from doing that.

Did you know that owning a timeshare is a great investment opportunity?
