Hi Alejandro: I don't think that's necessarily the case: knowledge of economic data certainly wasn't on peoples' minds in all pre-capitalist modes of production (the reality of economic calculation had to be historically brought into being, it was not simply a given). While it's true that in capitalist society, the primary data are on _some_ people's mind, most people are only dimly and incompletely aware of that data and its meaning. How are workers in a socialist society made aware of the primary data? Isn't there the possibility of information overload? Alternatively, if data is selectively disseminated, isn't there the possibility of a technocratic elite emerging? In solidarity, Jerry
