In  the second part of our series on economic planning, Ben and Jack  discuss the decentralised model of planning implemented by the socialist  Chilean government in the 1970s, the USSR's All-State Automated System (OGAS), and modern-day China.

Jack is a postgraduate student at  Cambridge University, researching the economic policies of the USSR in  the Brezhnev period. He is also currently the Chair of Cambridge  University Labour Club.
