A final reason for the belief that many current economic concepts are misleading is the omission of free market forces in examining a nation’s economy and the reliance on governmentally applied, socialistic principles to guide it. In recent years it has become quite clear that the authoritarian forms of socialism simply do not work. The idea that governments should manage an economy is now virtually outdated. With the shift toward a free market economy in parts of China and the collapse of the former Soviet Union, only Cuba still clings tenuously to an autosocialistic economy. But even as these government forms collapse, Canada remains in the embrace of the “socialistic” economics of Maynard Keynes and the “new economics” which is a reglazed version still clinging to troublesome, insupportable assumptions, including equilibrium, allocation of scarce resources, theory of the firm and the consumption theory of macroeconomics.
