Howdy, Here's an interesting quote on one of the diffuculties of a planned economy, from Robert Conquest's "Reflections on a Ravaged Century," W.W. Norton, 2000, pg 102-103:
"Soviet economists, as soon as they got the chance, pointed out that the problem of setting prices was insoluble. Twenty-four to twenty-five million industrial prices alone per annum, each backed by thousands of pages of documentation, had to be handled by the State Commission on Prices." What a pickle! -jsh __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New DSL Internet Access from SBC & Yahoo! http://sbc.yahoo.com
