not the firm level logistical planning that walmart etc do necessarily but state planning in a strategic direction, like military, critical resources etc
woke up today n read a headline about the EU militarizing was curious if they can
drop me some readings fellas if you got any


As all ice in chains said, it really depends. The big lesson the soviets learned in the early five year plans (a lesson which they forgot under khrushchev) is that a plan without coercion, without penalties if the plan isnt fulfilled, is no plan at all, its merely a suggestion.
So the question is does the EU as a whole, or any of its member states, have the ability to make economic plans that are more than suggestions? Idk enough about euroland to say, but over here it very much seems like the government of the US and Canada lack the ability or will to use such coercive powers against the large corporations
That said, the lack of crucial resources for the war industry means even if the could plan, their rearmament will probably hit a brick wall
