Democratic Economic Planning by Robin Hahnel Pdf

Democratic Economic Planning presents a concrete proposal for how to organize, carry out, and integrate comprehensive annual economic planning, investment planning, and long-run development planning so as to maximize popular participation, distribute the burdens and benefits of economic activity fairly, achieve environmental sustainability, and use scarce productive resources efficiently. The participatory planning procedures proposed provide workers in self-managed councils and consumers in neighbourhood councils with autonomy over their own activities while ensuring that they use scarce productive resources in socially responsible ways without subjecting them to competitive market forces. Certain mathematical and economic skills are required to fully understand and evaluate the planning procedures discussed and evaluated in technical sections in a number of chapters. These sections are necessary to advance the theory of democratic planning, and should be of primary interest to readers who have those skills. However, the book is written so that the main argument can be followed without fully digesting the more technical sections. Democratic Economic Planning is written for dreamers who are disenamored with the economics of competition and greed want to know how a system of equitable cooperation can be organized; and also for sceptics who demand "hard proof" that an economy without markets and private enterprise is possible.

Politics of Economic Planning by E.F.M. Durbin Pdf

The issue of planning prompted some of the fiercest debate in mid-twentieth century economics. Politics of Economic Planning collects together a number of papers from journals and contributed books that examine the problems of economic planning in a free society. They fall into three groups: Part 1 explains the idea of socialism and defines it in relation to democracy. Part 2 discusses problems of economic planning both in relation to political economy on the practice of planning and with the application of the theory of value to the conditions of a centrally directed economy. Part 3 examines the nature of economics.

Economic Planning in a Democratic Society? by Canadian Institute on Public Affairs,Harry Gordon Johnson Pdf

The papers in this book are written by the speakers, discussion group leaders, and the chairmen of the 9th annual Winter Conference of the Canadian Institute on Public Affairs. The articles suggested a division into three sections. Thus Part 1 contains the articles which centre on the title or, the compatibility of economic planning with free enterprise; Part 2 those which centre more on the definition or the nature of economic planning; and Part 3 the articles whose authors apply the general principles primarily to the question of what kind of planning for Canada?

National Economic Planning by Don Lavoie Pdf

Don Lavoie argues that the radical Left's enthusiasm for planning has been a tragic mistake and that progressive social change requires the abandonment of this traditional view. Lavoie argues that planning—whether Marxism, economic democracy, or industrial policy—can only disrupt social and economic coordination. He challenges both radicals and their critics to begin reformulating our whole notion of progressive economic change without reliance on central planning. National Economic Planning: What is Left? will challenge thinkers and policymakers of every political persuasion.

On the Political Economy of Social Democracy by J. Weldon Pdf

Weldon's writings address many of the themes that have preoccupied Canadian political economists over the last thirty years: unemployment, wage controls, inflation, pensions, privatization and social ownership, economic planning, social policy, the means and extent of state intervention, and the rise of neo-conservatism. On the Political Economy of Social Democracy stresses Weldon's recognition of the vital connection between social democracy and political democracy. It provides a clear understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of economic and social policy -- a necessary understanding, Weldon maintained, for the success of social democratic government. Weldon's commitment to social democracy in Canada is also reflected in the role he played in the New Democratic Party, his willingness to support and assist unions, and his efforts to achieve social justice. These selected papers originally appeared between 1961 and 1986. The issues they examine are now in the forefront of economic policy debates in most industrialized nations. They will interest not only scholars but anyone interested in the fate of a democratic political philosophy that has had considerable influence in shaping Canada.

National-Level Spatial Planning in Democratic Countries by Rachelle Alterman Pdf

National-level spatial planning in democratic countries has been all but ignored by researchers in urban and regional planning since the reconstruction years following World War II. Being synonymous for many with repressive regimes and coercive government practices, national-level planning also fell into some disrepute. A set of specially commissioned papers from leading researchers has produced this challenging and comprehensive study of current national-level planning in ten countries of the developed world. Challenging common assumptions, this comparative international study finds that there seems to be a modest trend whereby, on the threshold of the 21st century, national-level planning has grown in importance in democratic, advanced-economy countries.
