Show Answers

It has largely been unsuccessfulIt functions effectively in idealized societiesIt is commonly practiced in sub-Saharan AfricaIt represents the sole solution to eliminate poverty

Explanation

Branko Horvat's review shows that market or decentralized socialism has mostly failed to achieve its goals over the last two and a half centuries. While it may seem effective in theoretical or perfect conditions (option B), it has not been widely adopted in sub-Saharan Africa (option C), nor is it considered the only method to eradicate poverty (option D). Therefore, the correct conclusion is that it has largely failed.
