    Default Anatoly Wasserman

    Does this guy have any English translations of his writings?
    He's got writings explaining how an accurately planed economy is possible with super-computing but they are all in Russian.

    if you want to learn marxism check out david harvey, richard wolff, and guys like that.

    Most leftists don't support a centrally planned economy.

    Thanks RGacky3, yeah I have David Wolffe's website bookmarked, I listened to a couple of his economic update podcasts and I'll watch his videos soon. ATM I'm reading "Companion to Marx's Capital" by David Harvey which simplifies Capital a bit.

    Just stick with that then , I personally don't Wasserman is worth your time. I'd say stick with Marxists that stick with Marxian economics.

    One guy who is not a marxist but who I deeply respect is Ha-Joon Chang (he's more along the institutionalist tradicion), he's much more for the mixed economy socialist-market, but his economic analysis of capitalism is very good.

    I love Zizek, but I would NEVER recomend him for an understanding of Marxism or socialist economics or anything like that, the same with Chomsky. The same with this guy, he's a smart dude, but I would'nt consult him as an authority on Marxian economics or whatever, he just seams like a soviet apologist (which would make him popular in parts of Russia).
