 * Actually, rather. I imagined he'd just let things go to pot there like every where else.  (Of course, it's probably to head off calls for actual regulation.)Researcher 14:04, 11 December 2007 (EST)
 * Realistically, all modern industrialized economies involve a substantial state sector and elements of economic planning. In the US, the most successful sectors of the economy (agriculture, high technology, heavy industry, and pharmaceuticals) are also the most heavily subsidized and planned.--Desdinova 20:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Delete? Merge?
So there is already an article about command economies which are pretty much the same as planned economies it even says it in the intro of the article itself. Should this be merged or perhaps deleted? Wanted to see what other's thought before I nominated it. Should we maybe migrate over any information that is here that isn't there and nuke it, redirect, or write how it differs from a command economy? What say you? -- EWildman (talk) 00:13, 11 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Redirecting is okay. I just moved the example section, and we probably should keep some page history for CC-BY-SA.   --15.195.201.89 (talk) 00:18, 11 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with that. How long is the standard time until it's ok to redirect it? -- EWildman (talk) 00:31, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
