Harry Potter: Using science to be IMMORTAL

A completely efficient market is a concept in economics.

It refers to an entirely idealized market where there are infinite buyers and sellers, and individual market actions do not cause price changes. At the same time, products are homogeneous, companies cannot form monopolies through product specificity to enjoy monopoly benefits, and this is also a market where resources flow freely, information is fully open and complete, and there are no information barriers.

"Of course not, but I will do my best to provide people with as much market information as possible at the lowest possible cost," Murphy said.

Patrick understood, "This is the pinnacle of market economics, yet it's also close to the pinnacle of a planned economy."

Whether it's the market or planning, the ultimate goal is to achieve more effective regulation. The flaw in a market economy actually lies in the opacity of market information, where most people cannot see through the information barrier to understand the direction of the market, thus leading to a waste of productivity.

And the flaw in a planned economy lies in its inability to make timely and rational adjustments based on changes in market information.

In fact, even if the computational power of pioneers increases by a million times, it's still impossible to completely and rationally regulate the entire market because the market is composed of countless individuals, and the complexity of human behavior means that there's no way to fully predict market changes, let alone completely and rationally regulate it.

Unless the future brings something like Asimov's "psychohistory," a super sociology that can accurately predict human collective behavior, otherwise, this is an N-body problem, N being equal to or greater than one hundred million.

Thus, Murphy settled for the next best thing, choosing to provide as much information as possible, lowering information barriers, and letting the market self-regulate based on information.

This is also a kind of decentralized computation, essentially no different from the ultimate form of the OGAS system, except that planning is compulsory distribution, while the market is active selection, and obviously, everyone prefers the latter.

Everyone likes the feeling of freedom, so Murphy saw no need to risk universal condemnation.

"But in terms of government and public industry management and control, the OGAS system is much better than the current bureaucratic system, basically advancing by more than 90%, I won't cut off all people, but basically, no positions of power will be left, some transactional talents will be retained."

"So, you can control that mainframe?" Patrick came to understand.

Murphy shrugged, "Of course, otherwise am I to be a slave to the machine?"

Patrick nodded, with this understanding, he had no more doubts on this aspect. If it's true that the OGAS system can combine with expert groups to make optimal decisions on any public affairs in real time and directly implement them, then there's no problem with execution.

Then Murphy's decision is the most reasonable.

In fact, whether it's the management institution or the bureaucratic institution, the reason for their existence is that someone needs to do the management work.

And most of what bureaucrats and the management layer do is deal with people, how to implement some policies and decisions, facing the "because it's made up of people" structure, so there are some inherent resistances.

The struggle between emperors and bureaucrats, the conflict of interest between shareholders and managers, are fundamentally like this.

When people are not needed to implement rational decisions to the execution end, management institutions immediately lose their fundamental reason for existence.

"Lastly, on the matter of public welfare and individual aspects," Murphy said, "I will do more thoroughly than the OGAS plan, in the future all electronic devices, all sensor terminals, all mechanical equipment in Su country will be connected to the national mainframe."

"Everything and everyone in the country will have no secrets or privacy before me. But at the same time, for any other person, any organization and individual, their secrets, privacy will be protected to the maximum extent."

Before Murphy traveled to this world, capital had already achieved this through big data.

But their power was not used to better promote a fair and efficient market, but was even more aggressively used to build information barriers, control information to precisely exploit others, desperately capturing more benefits.

This is another territory that if not occupied by oneself, will be occupied by the enemy.

Rather than handing it over to other capitals, Murphy thought it better to hand it over to himself.

Patrick understood, "I didn't expect, you ultimately want to become an emperor... no, this is probably closer to a deity."

"And one last question," Patrick said, "do you plan to do the same in England?"

Murphy nodded, "Yes, the form will be different, but the essence of the action won't change much. What do you think?"

Patrick thought for a moment, "Of course, I support you. In this world now, relying on people's spontaneous efforts cannot achieve that ideal society. You may be the absolute force that can forcibly push the world forward."

Murphy smirked, "You say this now, without me having used force. When I do use force, won't I be considered a demon lord?"

Patrick smiled, "It's just a pity, I didn't expect to have to step down just after becoming Prime Minister."

"It's still early," Murphy said, "this plan can't be completed overnight. The transition phase is very important, you'll still need to be Prime Minister for a few years, oh, but you're planning a constitutional amendment, then next it won't be Prime Minister but President."

"There is such a plan," Patrick said, "but the resistance is too great, it's very difficult to succeed now, we need an opportunity."

"Like a world war?" Murphy smiled.

"Haha, you're joking, even if I want to be Churchill, this move is too big..."

Then Patrick frowned, uncertainly asking, "You're joking, right?"

Murphy's smile faded a bit, "Not entirely."

"What? This is not a joke, the nuclear bombs in Su country and the Beautiful country are enough to destroy humanity several hundred times over. If the Cold War turns into a hot war, it would be the apocalypse!"

"So, I also hope it can be resolved peacefully," Murphy said.

Patrick frowned, "What you want to solve, what exactly is it? It doesn't sound like some trade blockade, or the emergence of competitors in magic research."

"We will face an enemy," Murphy said, "I haven't figured out what it looks like, how many there are, how strong, but it's likely to be very terrifying."

"Before that, we need to unite, concentrate our strength and get ready."

"However, this world is still disunited, we cannot win in such a state."

Patrick's eyes widened, "You want... you want to conquer the world??!!"

"Conquer sounds too ugly, unify, it's unify," Murphy said.

"You're serious?!" Patrick's head was buzzing.

"A bit. It depends on whether they behave or not."

"But... nuclear bombs..."

"Nuclear bombs are indeed powerful. But they have to be able to explode to matter," Murphy said. "Besides, nuclear bombs might not necessarily be the most terrifying weapon anymore."

"Speaking of which, Umbrella Industries' military department has come up with quite a few good things recently, want to take a look?"

"You mean, weapons?"

"Yes, weapons. The kind that can conquer... cough, I mean, unify the world."
