We have here an Attlee's Britain-esque economy that has emerged within the borders of the United States. Assume it is one of the major economies... California, or New York are prime as such. How would that affect the price and mobility of interstate-commerce in the United States given the USA's current state of commerce?

Isn't the USA already in a state of Democratic Socialism that allows some competiton form foreign interestes and allows new businesses in some areas.  Try starting your own bank and see if you get anywhere.  Walmart could not even do that.

Democratic socialism in the British sense is just corporatism with a smile and a bread line. So perhaps.
