It's worth pointing out, for those of you who are playing the "oh it's libertarian so it must be bad" game, that other socialists also reached the same conclusions about central planning. Central planning is not an explicitly required feature of socialist economics, and critique of central planning is not exclusively the province of the right. Trotsky, Kropotkin, and the Mensheviks would be examples of prominent left wing thinkers who rejected central planning, especially the Soviet style.
