Call for Papers: Special Issue on Economic Planning
- Editor: Larry Alan Busk (buskl@wabash.edu)
- Deadline for submission of papers: by January 31, 2026
- Expected publication of issue: mid-2026
Economic planning is back. Decades after being declared obsolete by even most radical thinkers, the possibility of organizing production on a non-market basis has seen a renewed wave of interest in the 2020s, exemplified by special issues of Competition and Change (2025) and South Atlantic Quarterly (2020), as well as Bristol University Press’s edited volume Creative Construction (2025).
We invite submissions from scholars across disciplines on any topic related to the theory, practice, and challenges of a planned economy. This includes but is not limited to: engagement with or critique of existing planning models, reflections on the socialist calculation debate or other historical controversies, and the relationship between economic planning and the ecological crisis. We also welcome proposals for alternative format contributions (e.g., debates, interviews), as well as book reviews.
