There is one system that works even better than the free market system when it comes to economic growth. That is what I call the fear of death system. The highest growth rates ever experienced were in Nazi Germany and in Stalinist Russia. These were both socialist systems but in these systems the producers were under the threat of death. Under Stalin, if you were ordered to build, fifty hi quality T-54 tanks, you either built them (and built them well) or died. Same thing in Nazi Germany. Companys were given production quotas and if they did not reach them the managers were thrown in concentration camps. The capitalist system is incentivized through greed which works pretty well, but greed doesn't seem to hold a candle against the fear of death.
