Return to Socialist Calculation
This decade occurring after the Austrian revival in the 1970s was a boom time for revisionist work on the socialist calculation debate. Including seminal work by Lavoie.
Currently unavailable in digital form is Don Lavoie's 1985 book National Economic Planning: What Is Left?. This book emphasizes the calculation problem as one of knowledge and coordination. A highlight of this book is the chapter on Leontief's input output method as a proposed answer to the problems with data aggregation. Which is little dealt with anywhere else. This book can be seen as a complement to Lavoie's other 1985 book Rivalry and Central Planning. Where the that book focuses on the past and history of ideas while National Economic Planning takes aim at contemporary contemporary challenges and audience.
