    We largely have stuck with market based economies because they currently are much more responsive to changes.

    No, we still have market based economies because they make a few people very very rich.

    We needed markets before computers and instant mass communication. Things are different now

    While computers have gotten more powerful there is zero evidence to support that we have gotten to the point where they could run a planned economy in any fashion.

    What about the fact that market-based responses to COVID were universally worse than centrally planned responses?
