Capitalism creates new uncertainties every day: How much will my weekly grocery shopping cost? How much will I have to pay on top of my energy bill? Corporations like OMV, Spar, and Amazon are all making plans—but only for their own profits. Owners and management decide what is produced and how; the workforce has no say in the matter. This fuels discontent and the climate crisis. A democratically planned economy therefore means making conscious and democratic decisions about what work is necessary in a society and how we use natural resources sustainably to meet everyone’s needs. But how? How can the economy be democratically shaped through planning to achieve a just society? How can we mitigate the climate crisis and ensure provision for everyone?
