...our main problem is not human sefishness but 'our lack of a suitable organisational technology.' It is, in other words, a problem of design. But just because we don't yet know how to design the social machinery that would make socialism work, this doesn't mean we never can or never will... a commitment to liberty, no less than to equality, requires taking as many goods and services as possible out of the market - that is, 'decommodifying' them - in order to free ourselves from its coercive power.
