The Central Bank is about hooking up a few valves and then predicting how every other valve's flow will react as a result. The Soviet system was closer to hooking up every single valve.

Why not? If economic conditions continued going well then they had the staff to meet their needs. If they didn't then they'd cut the worst performing employees and anyone else they didn't want. Since every other company would
