Hey, everybody.

Welcome back to the What is Money show.

I am sitting down today with Mr.

Anish Carveh.

Anish is an entrepreneur and a computer scientist.

And we've been exchanging notes on this piece you've just recently

published. And as I was saying to you offline, I think it's very important for people to start

to understand the computational limitations of central planning. So Anish, first of all,

welcome to the show. Thank you. It's good to be here,

and it's fun to turn Twitter conversations into something that's closer to a real life conversation.

I couldn't agree more, and I know we've been talking about this for some time. And your piece

really came together this week, And I think it's fantastic.

I've already shared my thoughts with you on Twitter DM.

I'm sure it'll come up in this conversation.

I guess my question of you would be, where do we start?

Do we just flow through this piece top to bottom or is there a certain overarching theme

we should touch on first? I think we start with the goal. And the process of writing the

article was really interesting for me in that I had an intuition in my guts for a long time

that there was something mechanistic about bureaucracies.

And when we use that word mechanistic, sometimes as computer scientists, we say that a process is

algorithmic if there is a step-by-step procedure for producing an outcome.

And I've been a long-time casual reader of Thomas Sull.
