Testimonials for this volume
The new volume is over again, and I'm finally relieved!
The storyline of this volume is not too complicated, that is, a series of stories generated when humans caused neutron star collisions, and finally made a good friend, and finally succeeded in moving towards a fourth-level civilization......
It's really not easy to become a fourth-level civilization!
I'm quite satisfied with the whole process, I can score 90 points, there are no big regrets, and the set goal is basically completed!
Suddenly, I found that there was nothing else to feel sorry for...... The testimonials in this volume seem to be too brief for the officials to be satisfied, so let's talk about the "dynamic planned economy" system that has been practiced by the new human civilization.
When the author set up the planned economy, he borrowed from the Soviet Union.
Although the Soviet Union eventually collapsed, there were many reasons, but the planned economy should not bear too much of the pot.
The planned economy of the Soviet Union looked beautiful, but in fact it was very powerful, and there was never an economic crisis, but it was extremely difficult to operate in practice. New China studied for more than ten years, and Soviet experts handed it over hand for five years, but China did not even step into the threshold, but just looked at the door, and then directly imitated and failed.
Why? First of all, because the planned economy requires very powerful grassroots personnel, especially statisticians, to count the materials needed by the whole country, the quality of China's population at that time was completely poor, and even the Soviet Union was so-so, just enough to reach the passing line.
Therefore, when looking at the planned economy of the Soviet Union, we cannot confuse China's planned economy.
If you want to talk about the planned economy of the Soviet Union, the person who cannot be avoided is Leonid Kontorovich. Director of Research on Economic Problems at the Institute of National Economic Management of the USSR State Scientific and Technical Committee. Its core model is the theory of optimal allocation of resources, which won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1975. Don't think that you are fools to engage in a planned economy, there are many invisible bigwigs among them. Referring specifically to the book "Rational Use of Electric Energy in Machinery Manufacturing Plants", a certain chairman of our country is a translator.
The Soviet Union's five-year plan was generally divided into seven parts, 60,000 individual headings, and the goals were planned mainly through linear programming and operations research. The reason for this lies in the fact that the methodological basis that goes to the heart of modern economics is the concept of duality between the composition of quantity rationing and the composition of price.
To put it simply, the planned economy of the Soviet Union was to use huge computing power to simulate the "invisible hand" and then arrive at the optimal solution. :
The first chapter, Production, includes the calibration of tens of thousands of commodities.
Chapter 2, Use, Preparation of Balance Sheets.
The State Development Planning Commission prepares balance sheets for 2,000 commodities.
Material supply and marketing agencies prepare balance sheets for 10,000 commodities.
The State Agency for Material Supply and various ministries and commissions compile tens of thousands of commodity balance sheets.
Chapter 3, Labor Distribution.
Chapter 4, Investment Plans.
Chapter 5, Technological Development Goals.
Chapter 6, Import and Export Targets.
Chapter VII Budget.
To sum up, basically this system is still very strict.
As for why the Soviet Union's economic system did not surpass that of the United States, there are many reasons: first, the system is too complex, the foundation is too poor, and the quality of the grassroots personnel is insufficient, and the foundation of the Soviet Union is much worse than that of the United States;
The second is the lack of timely monetization, and the long-term barter of scissors has led to the creation of a large number of unearned interest classes, and corruption is quite serious.
Third, the allies are not as powerful as the United States, and they are still at odds with China, making a major strategic mistake in going to Afghanistan;
Fourth, it is important to attach importance to heavy industry and ignore light industry, which can only be said to be the pot of leadership in formulating plans, not the pot of planned economy. In a planned economic system, the ability to lead is very important.
Fifth, in the era of technological explosion, plans do not compare with changes. The free economy is developing rapidly under these circumstances, and the planned economy is only stable.
(All of the above is a personal opinion!) )
When I first set up this economic system, I thought that in the Internet era, if the overall planning is carried out through big data and artificial intelligence, there is no doubt that it can speed up the efficiency of government communication and avoid many shortcomings.
In Soviet times, there was no Internet to suffer a big loss, and the leaders held meetings, which were open for a day, and the efficiency was incomparably low.
Without big data, we can only rely on statistics from grassroots personnel, and the error rate is extremely high.
In addition, I think we can let go of some plans, especially some entertainment industries, light industries, etc., for free competition. There is no need to plan all these bits and pieces.
With this in mind, the book has the origin of the set of settings, especially in an era when productivity far exceeds demand, planning is still necessary......
Well, that's all for the time being!
Speaking of which, the end of the volume, tomorrow is the day when you want to take a day off. But for the New Year, I have to take a leave of absence in a few days, so I'm a little embarrassed......
Looking at the manuscript in my hand, I have seen the bottom of it, and the plot of the next volume is still being considered...... So, take a half-day off, and tomorrow will be a temporary change!
