Its most extensive form is referred to as a command economy,[3] centrally planned economy, or command and control economy[4]. In such economies, central economic planning by the state or government controls all major sectors of the economy and formulates all decisions about the use of resources and the distribution of output.[5] Planners decide what should be produced and direct lower-level enterprises to produce those goods in accordance with national and social objectives. Interesting.

Just wanted to repost your very profound comment here...because t he more I think about it...It is exactly what is happening hard to believe.... <<<In a command economy people need to adapt to what the government does to them in order to prosper or just survive. For example, in Soviet Union many joined the Communist Party. No, not because they believed in the greater good of Communism First, because the commies grabbed the oil cash and shopped in special shops, where, unlike other shops, there were goods. Second, in order not to get killed by KGB. The crisis happened when there was nothing to loot anymore, and even the special shops got empty. Kinda like the situation here today. Then former commies grabbed state assets for nothing and became new capitalists, the oligarkhs, organizing the collapse of the country. Here they grabbed our assets already. Now we are waiting for the collapse of the country. -ng- This seems totally weird to Americans, but America is not what it used to be, it is actually a command economy now. Moreover, the Fed is getting even more power, not less.>>>
