Talk by Walther Zeug: After the Failure of Really Existing Socialism and Capitalism – Democratic Economic Planning – For a good Life for Everyone within Planetary Boundaries

This talk will be hosted by ‘Emanzipation & Frieden e.V.‘ The talk will be in German.

Here is the translated description of the event:

What can we learn from the historical failure of real socialism and the current escalating crisis dynamics of capitalism for the possibilities of a post-capitalist economy?
Building on classic and current debates on economic planning as well as new insights and methods from systems science, Jakob Heyer and Walther Zeug have developed an economic model: Cybernetic Democratic Economic Planning (CDEP) – a cybernetic, democratic form of economic planning that aims to enable a good life for all within planetary boundaries.
CDEP is a tool that we could use to decide democratically, fairly, efficiently, and effectively which and how many resources we can and want to use, with which technologies and production systems, to satisfy which social needs.
