We can no longer go on with a system that just maximises private profit without consideration for its effects. Instead we have to conciously plan how to change to a fossil fuel free society. The need is urgent. The transformation will be vast. Nothing similar has been done in the West since the days of wartime mobilisation. This book explains the basic science of climate change before looking at the transformations needed to our energy and basic industries. It looks at the previous successful history of deliberate planning practiced in the UK from 1939 to the 1960s and how, using modern computing techniques it will be possible to organise resources so as to effect the change.}, language = {en} } @article{DapprichCockshott2023, author = {Dapprich, Jan Philipp and Cockshott, William Paul}, title = {Input-output planning and information}, series = {Journal of Economic Behavior \& Organization}, journal = {Journal of Economic Behavior \& Organization}, number = {205}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0167-2681}, doi = {10.1016/j.jebo.2022.10.043}, pages = {412 -- 422}, year = {2023}, abstract = {In this paper, we show how socialist planning can be based on input-output data. We argue that the information required for this can be obtained by a central planning agency and thus dismiss Hayek's information argument against socialism. We further show how economic planning can be made responsive to consumer demand through a feedback control mechanism. Output targets of products would be adjusted in response to observed consumer demand or based on predictions about future demand. Planners can use machine learning to make more accurate forecasts. The valuation of goods plays an important role in the feedback control mechanism. The values of goods can either be measured by the labour time necessary for their production (labour values) or through shadow prices based on linear programming.}, language = {en} } @article{LambertFegleyCandelaetal.2023, author = {Lambert, Karras and Fegley, Tate and Candela, Rosolino and Boettke, Peter and Phelan, Steven and Wenzel, Nikolai G. and Dapprich, Jan Philipp}, title = {Reply and Counter-Reply}, series = {Journal of economic behavior \& organization}, journal = {Journal of economic behavior \& organization}, number = {212}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0167-2681}, doi = {10.1016/j.jebo.2023.03.026}, pages = {300 -- 310}, year = {2023}, language = {en} }
