As discussed in another thread, a planned, as opposed to a
market-based, economy might actually become competitive by relying on
a much lower threshold of computational resources.

While we have few examples of political experiments these days in this
somewhat unfashionable direction, the internal working of large
corporate conglomerates, where the allocation of resources is not
driven by market mechanisms but by centralised planning, may well
suggest something like that.

The working of living organisms, of animal societies, etc,. also
suggest that all that is basically a matter of information processing.
