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!

Quite apart from his chuddery, he has some odd views on commodity production that some might say aren't Marxist. But I'd not call that a deal-breaker to his thesis, just something to keep in mind.
