One of the biggest problems with "mixed systems" is when they allow private wealth to steal public wealth. Private wealth is a threat to the public, because it's power, so if a few people amass more power than the rest, that destroys democracy and lessens the power of certain people in society.
One of the fixes is to democratize businesses. You could also disallow profits and require fair wages for all businesses. There are absolutely problems with top-down planned economic models, and the solution is always more democracy, because the system should always be working to meet the needs of the people, and not the other way around. That's how you get freedom, is when a government is barred from preventing freedom, and much better when it's not adversarial and is actively working to meet everyone's needs as it should as that is the entire point of government, to serve the public.

@wweek @news-wweek Sad that the people who believe in and use public institutions, don't have the wealth to support them. And those who have that wealth, prefer to build their own private pools and gardens.

How Federal Disaster Money Favors The Rich
By Rebecca Hersher, Robert Benincasa
March 5, 2019"Disasters are becoming more common in America. In the early and mid-20th century, fewer than 20 percent of U.S. counties experienced a disaster each year. Today, it's about 50 percent. According to the 2018 National Climate Assessment, climate change is already driving more severe droughts, floods and wildfires in the U.S. And those disasters are expensive. The federal government spends billions of dollars annually helping communities rebuild and prevent future damage. But an NPR investigation has found that across the country, white Americans and those with more wealth often receive more federal dollars after a disaster than do minorities and those with less wealth. Federal aid isn't necessarily allocated to those who need it most; it's allocated according to cost-benefit calculations meant to minimize taxpayer risk.
"Put another way, after a disaster, rich people get richer and poor people get poorer. And federal disaster spending appears to exacerbate that wealth inequality."
