    If you think about it every company is a tiny planned economy with all the power held by a few people, too.

    Some of them even make brainwashing propaganda for their employees to think that sacrificing themselves to the company is glorious.

      But yes, the idea is a mix of companies, different shapes and sizes, coordinating through markets.
