Recently an article pleading for the wieder left (from parties to the extra-parlamentary left) to pay attention to and participate in the revived debate around democratic economic planning has appeared in the big German leftist newspaper nd. The article is an abbreviated version of the opening article that has appeared in 2024 in an issue of the journal “Luxemburg” (published by the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation), which was themed around democratic economic planning. The full issue can be found here.
This is not the first time the nd has published a planning themed article. In the beginning of this year they published an interview about labour time calculation with the IDA (Initative Democratic Labour Time Calculation), which also recently rented an office in the nd building.
