Lets say that there was a nuclear war, but about 100 people got to live underground. The city was well stocked with food, “homes”, water, and electricity. In city of ember, that city is shown, but the economy is not exactly capitalism. First, the food is rationed among the citezens. Second, jobs are randomly assigned to the kids, although they can be traded. Third, there is a mayor, who is corrupt. If the people in this society decided to form an anarchno-capitalistic society, what improvements would there be?
Wait, are people not responding because the answer is obvious?
questions about your scenario from someone that hasnt seen the film.
who owns the food, part of which has been rationed?
can anyone produce more food?
what are the benefits to having ‘a job’ assigned to you in this scenario?
In the film, there is no indication on who owns the food. Perhaps “warehouse managers”, who dole it out.
They try with the greenhouses, but it produces stunted food.
I don’t know. I guess you are required to work your job, and some people like doing their job.
I’m sorry to be blunt, but, who cares?
Ditto.
