Large German Conservative Newspaper Comments Benanav’s Multicriterial Economy Approach

The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, one of the biggest conservative leaning newspapers in Germany, recently commented the two-part article from economist Aaron Benanav in the New Left Review on a multicriterial economy and democratic planning. In an article from the 27th of January 2026, the F.A.Z. breaks down and criticizes alleged gaps in Benanavs argumentation and challenges such as an over-complication of democratic decision-making in the economy and a potential backlash to authoritarian socialism.
