HOW I KNOW IM NOT A BRAIN IN A VAT*
The philosopher Hilary Putnams brain-in-a-vat hypothesis (BIV) offers a contemporary variation on a theme we first encountered while studying Descartes. Consider the following thought experiment:
"[...] imagine that a human being (you can imagine this to be yourself) has been subjected to an operation by an evil scientist. The persons brain (your brain) has been removed from the body and placed in a vat of nutrients which keeps the brain alive. The nerve endings have been connected to a super-scientific computer which causes the person whose brain it is to have the illusion that everything is perfectly normal. There seem to be people, objects, the sky, etc; but really all the person (you) is experiencing is the result of electronic impulses traveling from the computer to the nerve endings."

Evaluate the role of money (or its absence) in conveying knowledge in both the planned economy Marx describes and in a market-driven system. Is Mises and Hayek's criticism, the "knowledge problem," a valid one, or does Marx have a better solution than Hayek and Mises understand?
Mises again: "In an exchange economy, the objective exchange value of commodities becomes the unit of calculation. This involves a threefold advantage. In the first place we are able to take as the basis of calculation the valuation of all individuals participating in trade. The subjective valuation of one individual is not directly comparable with the subjective valuation of others. It only becomes so as an exchange value arising from the interplay of the subjective valuations of all who take part in buying and selling. Secondly, calculations of this sort provide a control upon the appropriate use of the means of production. They enable those who desire to calculate the cost of complicated processes o
