The economics calculation debate: lessons for socialists
总结了经济计算辩论的标准观点、现代奥地利学派基于隐性知识的重新解释,以及多布强调事前计划必要性的被忽视的第三条路径,并探讨了市场社会主义的可能回应。
This paper summarises the standard account of the economic calculation debate, the modern Austrian reinterpretation of the debate based on the centrality of tacit knoweledge and discovery, and a neglected third strand in the historical debate, Dobb's insistence on the uncertainty associated with atomistic decision making and the need for ex ante planning. It then draws some lessons for socialists from the debate and considers a possible market socialist response to the modern Austrian challenge. The paper ends by outlining a model of participatory planning which incorporates both the modern Austrians' insight into the importance of tacit knoweledge and Dobb's insistance on ex ante coordination.
