Think 'central planning' gets bad wrap.
Communism != Central Planning.
There were other problems with Soviets. Nobody mentions how fast they modernized.
Do you think 'Central Planning' isn't happening today?
Most of the worlds food production is 'Central Planned'.
It is just being done by a corporation, not a government.
Why does that make you feel better about it.
Didn't we just witness how the global JIT central production systems could fall apart?
- p_l 3y agoHaving seen underneath the surface of a certain FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) giant of USA/multinational market... The two biggest differences they have with GosPlan is that they have way lower cardinality (less products/categories), and computing/communication power to iterate very fast. Add to it market data (out of Walmart and others streaming all your purchases with minimal redaction and categorized by store/zip-code) plus in some cases direct inventory view into stores, and simply an army of people and robots/ai that do daily tuning of the supply chain, and you have GosPlan's wet dream of central planning.
