We largely have stuck with market based economies because they currently are much more responsive to changes.

No, we still have market based economies because they make a few people very very rich.

We needed markets before computers and instant mass communication. Things are different now

While computers have gotten more powerful there is zero evidence to support that we have gotten to the point where they could run a planned economy in any fashion.

What about the fact that market-based responses to COVID were universally worse than centrally planned responses?

Given what you have said in the last comment I replied to I do not wish to continue this conversation

You called me poorly educated. Was I supposed to be nice after that?

If you don’t understand that microeconomics and macroeconomics are not the same, and you have clearly stated this when you say companies and nation-states function under the same rules, then there isn’t a point in having a further discussion with you because you aren’t coming from an informed position.

Im stopping not because if your tone but rather because you have made it clear you don’t really know anything about economics.
