Carbon Emissions: Better Democratic Central Planning (P2) w/ Dr. Philipp Dapprich

FULL CAPTIONS. In this interview, Dr. Philipp Dapprich talks to After the Oligarchy about his work on refining the model of economic planning first proposed by Cockshott and Cottrell in Towards a New Socialism (1993). Discussion includes using choice of production technique in central planning, opportunity cost, labour cost, calculating environmental costs (such as GHG emissions), agent-based modelling, consumer model, simulation results, computational complexity, research to be done.

Dr. Jan Philipp Dapprich is a philosopher and political economist working at the Free University Berlin. His PhD was entitled Rationality and Distribution in the Socialist Economy (2020). He studied physics and philosophy, then political economy. Dapprich co-authored the book Philosophy and Logic of Quantum Physics (2015), as well as the forthcoming (2022) Economic Planning in an Age of Environmental Crisis.
