📌This webinar is the second in the series "Reviving central planning: A Global South perspective", which aims to explore the basics of central planning as they existed around the world and understand the relevance of planned development today. The discussions will focus on the diverse cases of Russia, Eastern Europe, and East Asia to provide a historical analysis of their respective planning models, an assessment of the strengths and limitations of their implementation of these models, as well as an introduction to the rich analysis that emerged from the economic debates and ideas of economists on the idea of and the actual experience with planning.
