I’ve noticed some users here have mentioned the work of Paul Cockshott and I’m interested in looking into the computational aspects of planning.

I already know a bit about operations research, but couldn’t find a good introductory paper about modern economic planning theories, specially since stuff like Google Scholar ranks by citations.

I’m currently reading “Towards a New Socialism” but it doesn’t look like it’ll delve too deeply into algorithms as far as I’ve got. Should I drop it and look into “Classical Econophysics” first? Or does anybody know a more technical book that I should look into?

    If you want to look into actual algorithms I’m pretty sure that Cockshott himself has published papers on his proposed algorithms. Last time i read New Socialism I’m pretty sure he mentioned them by title.
