This has the odor of the kind of shenanigans Mao engaged in in the "Great
Leap Forward". Yes, there's decentralization. But without the incentive of
property, things will fall apart pretty fast as the small local "cells"
("communes" in Mao-speak) simply recreate bureaucratic bumbling on a
distributed level. The "Great Leap Forward" set China's economy back 30
years . . .
