Socialism And Economic Cybernetics: Towards a Manifesto - Paperback

The only alternative to capitalism is socialism. The first attempt to organize a non-capitalist, proportionally developing economy in the direction of a prosperous future was made by the USSR. The historical analysis of the development of the economic policy of the USSR from war communism to the NEP and then to the course of industrialization shows how the country, gradually accumulating a balanced experience in economic planning, moved to use the method of successive approximations (iterations) to the drawing up of plans. It's most important principles are consideration of feedback in the process of coordinating planned calculations "input-output" and rolling planning (adjustment of planned calculations online). Thanks to this, in essence, cybernetic planning of the economy, the USSR won the Second World War and became the power of the bipolar world, determining the vector of global development.

Just as the introduction of machines at one time meant the first industrial revolution affirming capitalism, so the introduction of the economic robot will mean the second industrial revolution, affirming socialism, without the possibility of capitalist restoration."
