    Yeah, I appreciated the nuance in his critique of the late stages of the Soviet system.. I'm curious how those problems would be addressed, especially in light of modern IT.

    He says at a couple different points that it's impossible to adequately gather and process all the information needed for a planned economy, but the Soviets were somewhat slow to adopt computers, so I wonder how that could be different in light of the successes of planned economies like China and Wal-Mart, and earlier projects like cybersyn.
