In 1937, a book titled 'Planned Societies and Economies Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow' brought together economists and sociologists from Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, the Soviet Union, and New Deal America to debate not whether societies should plan their economies, but how much planning and how much freedom should be left to markets—a consensus that has now fractured.

“In 1937... there was a book written, planned, societies, and economies yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow... from Nazi Germany, from fascist Italy, from the Soviet Union to New Deal economists in the United States... the question is not whether we should be planning our societies and economies but how should we do it?”
