Re: Participatory Planning

to Jim Devine:
     The point about the Kremlin bell and cannon was that
gigantomania may have been a Russian phenomenon unrelated
to central planning.  Both date from tsarist times.

PS:  They were "planned," at least in that they were built
by the state.  The cannon was certainly "plannned" to provide
deterrence, much like later humongous H-bombs.  The bell was
sheer ego.
