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.
