It’s a bad setup where competition and small business are at a severe disadvantage, agree with Phin. What the book explains is a path to a a better combo of free markets and socialism where they are working in tandem and not against each other:
There’s something called “market socialism” but usually what it means is socialism, but with some market institutions to keep it more efficient, and that is not what we mean at all. We mean that in order to have real free markets you have to have socialism, and in order to have socialism, you have to have markets. These two things, which seem opposite to each other, are actually two sides of the same coin.
