39764 planning -- rank: 1000
This whole planning debate has gone on without much attention to what kind of planning we're talking about. Total, Soviet-style planning, with Gosplan and state-owned enterprises?

Participatory planning a la Albert & Hahnel? I think that the Freudian/Hayekian critique of perfect knowledge does make it diff ...
