For the left and the right, major multinational companies are held up as the ultimate expressions of free-market capitalism. And yet, as Leigh Phillips and Michal Rozworski argue, much of the economy of the West is centrally planned at present. Their remarkable success appears to vindicate the old idea that modern society is too complex to be subjected to a plan.
The real question is whether planning can be democratic. Not only is planning on vast scales possible, we already have it and it works. Can it be transformed to work for us?An engaging, polemical romp through economic theory, computational complexity, and the history of planning, The People's Republic of Walmart revives the conversation about how society can extend democratic decision-making to all economic matters.
