ECO.1:11 - SoTA-Echoing

Mises, Economic Calculation, §2 is the historical anchor for comparing heterogeneous productive means through exchange relations, and for the limits of money calculation outside those relations. This pattern adapts that issue to a bounded working decision; it does not infer that every choice lacking a market price is impossible.

The competing move is to optimize with assumed weights. That remains useful for conditional planning: the output is a consequence of those assumptions. The added operation here tests whether the assumption can support the receiving economic claim. Reopen the comparison when access, exchange terms, available alternatives or the use of the model changes.
