PhD @uni-jena.de on Democratic Economic Planning. Views are my own, follow or repost /= endorsement.
it's more about general principles, for example, that comprehensive planning can never be about fixed ex ante plans, reality should surrender to ("the plan is nothing") but rather that there must be constant interaction and communication between strategic macro-level goals and micro level responses.

Cybernetics, naturally, has similar reference points, cf. Beer's comparison of a cybernetic control room for the whole economy with Churchill 's cabinet war rooms.

I actually don't mean broader war economies here, but military planning in war more narrowly (movement of forces and resources etc. in the battlefield), because of the requirement of highly adaptive planning in the face of persistent uncertainty and change.

yes, it is more about investigating particular organisational challenges and associated solutions, from which we can learn, as opposed to the 'war communism' fallacy.

...Chapter 2 by @jakobheyer.bsky.social, in which he distills basic problems that any model of a democratically planned economy will have to face, two of which are information and incentives. He identifies lines of conflict but also points towards a possible synthesis.
