Question 8 / 15:  What is ironic about the various schemes that can be implemented to "cure" socialism of its problems?
Answer: 

In order to solve the problems of socialism, the central planners

might (say) allow workers to swap their finished goods with each

other and to vote on what gets produced, and the planners might

also allow the factory managers some discretion in how much

they produce, based on their expectations of customer demand.

Yet with each refinement, the system would more closely resemble

capitalism.

Sample Partial Credit Answer

The socialist system turns into a capitalist one.
