Mises obliterated the entire socialist project in 1920 with one devastating insight: "Where there is no free market, there is no pricing mechanism; without a pricing mechanism, there is no economic calculation." The socialists spent the next century pretending this problem didn't exist while their economies collapsed around them.

And yet here we are, watching politicians promise they can "fix" healthcare, housing, and energy markets through central planning. They can't even calculate the cost of their own programs correctly — how exactly are they going to allocate resources across an entire economy?

Every Venezuelan breadline, every Soviet grain shortage, every Chinese famine was just Mises being proven right in the most brutal way possible. But sure, let's try democratic socialism this time. What could go wrong?

Radiation therapy is a cost effective treatment for #cancer. ~50% of patients with cancer have an evidence-based indication for this. Yet, awareness is low &amp; access is variable. Thank you @DGlaucomflecken for highlighting this success story. @TargetingCancer @ESTRO_RT @ASTRO_org

Survey on brachytherapy training among radiation oncology residents in the German-speaking regions of Europe https://t.co/gD1Qfmkvkb
Similar survey now given USA, Europe, India, Australia
Similar outcomes - low volume, no formal education for BT
How to solve this problem?

@2_Savavge Definitely, it's a streamlined approach to deliver high quality curative radiation treatment for men with prostate cancer. Its non invasive and has minimal toxicities.
