I recently read a critique of the planned/command economy of the USSR, that it was mostly influenced by arbitrary bureaucratic decision-making, and not by mathematical modelling. I'm struggling to find literature on the use of mathematics/system dynamics on economic planning in the USSR. Does anybody know of such literature? I'd like to actually study the math used, if any. It would be a fascinating project to model socialist economics mathematically. Obviously I'm referring to mathematics applied to the socialist mode of production, and not capitalist (market) economics. Thanks!
