I get what you're saying, but I'm talking about sectoral, lower level of economy where 'econ as dist computer' works less well
Whether or not humans/firms actually have control, levels where they *think* they do behave differently as a result of that belief
I think the allocation view is only relevant where you define what you're competing for as share-of-consumer-wallet
I like dist computing metaphor a lot too and used it in breaking smart. I just don't think it's as complete as you think.
