You may call that Socialism, but here in Sweden, where we have
Socialism, we call that 'a command economy' and (most of us) are not
impressed.  There are more flavours of Socialism than you will get out
of a purely Libertarian library, however excellent in other respects.
There exist alternatives to those 2 ways.  Around here, we try some.
Sometimes we screw up big time, sometimes we hit it on the nose.
