Economic planning systems of communist states

Economic planning systems of communist states is the specific model of centralized planning employed by communist states, which has its origins in the economy of the Soviet Union, and formally based on democratic centralism.

The post-perestroika analysis of the system of the Soviet economic planning describes it as the administrative-command system due to the de facto priority of highly centralized management over planning. An example of analytical approach to several stages of the Soviet political-economic model can be found in the works of Soviet economist Lev Gatovsky.
