Democratic Economic Planning, Industrial Policy, Post-Capitalism, Socio-Ecological Transformation, Transformation TheoryAbstract
The article addresses the current debate on democratic economic planning and the question of how and by which instruments a post-capitalist planning system, embedded in a broader agenda of macroeconomic transformation, can be developed. To this end, the article discusses the general framework and conceptual considerations of a theory of post-capitalist transformation and, building on this, systematizes macroeconomic instruments. It develops the distinction between general public planning and political economic planning under capitalism and highlights the contradictory and dynamic character of post-capitalist transformation.
