Well, since many here deny that anything useful can be learned about
socialist planning from the USSR, it's helpful to discuss what can be learned
about it, if anything. I have been arguing that the defects of Soviedt

nd that the hiatory of the Soviet economy is empirical conformation of
Hayek's worries. --jks
