Planned Economy rethought Do you also sometimes worry that you or many others could be unemployed? And do you also wish you were not left to fend for yourself in an emergency? What can a caring welfare state look like without exploding costs? This book tells us: ... how the unemployed can work for each other in a Planned Economy to support themselves and start companies with like-minded people. ... how democratic and digital voting on consumption and working time can protect residents from deprivation and maximise leisure time. ... how disposed goods are recycled and redundant workers are retrained to be able to switch back to the other economic forms. After 20 years of work on this book series, Andreas Seidl thus ventures a step towards founding a party. In doing so, he entertains his readers both intellectually and visionarily. If this work can give you hope, inspire you or move you to action, it has fulfilled its purpose. Available in German and English

Foreword
This policy concept contains a variety of proposals for possible political reforms. It can be peacefully and democratically adapted to any current political system of any state in the world, but also to political systems in families, clubs, associations or companies. Wherever humans make or submit to rules that manage living together, the following proposals can be helpful. Readers who find the proposals so helpful that they would like to implement them together with like-minded people can contact the author. The contact form on the last page can be used for this purpose.
Faults and defects
I ask for your understanding that this volume was not professionally proofread. I could only afford professional proofreading for the summary. Spelling errors and unfortunate phrasing may therefore occur. As soon as this volume has sold enough to pay for a professional proofreading, it will be done. After that, a new edition will be published.
English version
Please understand that this volume has been translated automatically. I could only afford a professional translation for the summary. Poor wording and spelling errors may therefore occur. In case of doubt, the German version shall prevail. As soon as this volume has sold enough to pay for a professional translation, it will be done. After that, a new edition will be published. It was more important to me that no one in the world should have an information advantage than individual translation errors in the complete work.

1 Goals of the Ministry of Planned Economy
In the four economic forms, the planned economy represents a life of security and modesty, but with maximum leisure time and minimum work. The democratisation of all subsystems is paramount. Residents should manage their Social Villages as independently and democratically as possible and work towards a self-sufficient existence in the overall network of all Social Villages.
The goal of Planned Economy is not to maximise profits, but to maximise leisure time and standard of living. The goal is achieved with an increase in productivity through innovation. Achieving living standards with all the amenities of the market economy is not the goal. The goal is to fulfil one’s own needs plan, which was established by the majority in the needs assessment. Foreign trade with other economic forms should be balanced. A surplus is allowed, a deficit is forbidden. Insofar as the Planned Economy is dependent on taxpayers’ money, that is at the time of its introduction and when the market economy abruptly produces mass unemployment.
Each village determines its own daily needs and can barter with the help of the other Social Villages to achieve a more suitable distribution of work and to be able to specialise. Revenues from the market economy aim to raise the standard of living of the village community through the purchase of innovative technology or expertise.
The basic goal is that all Social Villagers always have enough to eat, beds in warm and dry rooms, clothing, employment, fun, social contacts, medical care and educational opportunities. In order to reach the basic supply faster, the residents either have to work overtime or work more expediently.
The aim is also to enable as many Social Villagers as possible to realise their potential to work in their free time without having to rely on payment. Research and development becomes a leisure activity. Business ideas and inventions can be produced, tried out and marketed worldwide.
The aim of the Ministry of Planned Economy is to ensure that there is a labour market in the Social Villages that is self-sufficient and only relies on subsidies in exceptional cases. Economic policy issues concerning the supply of labour, goods and services are resolved in voting with the residents of the Social Village. This achieves the goal of finding a balance between work and leisure time that can guarantee basic supply at all times. The aim of the Planned Economy is to provide social security for all nationals and, if possible, also for citizens from European Union member states.
1.1 Improvements over the Soviet planned economy
In this Planned Economy, prices are flexible and adjusted to an internationally tradable currency. There are flexible exchange rates. In the Soviet Planned Economy, prices were often the same for decades. In the Planned Economy, both the workers themselves and the demanders are asked directly what they can afford or what they would like to afford. Although these negotiations take place on a regular annual basis, as in the Soviet Planned Economy, they are compared in real time by a computer programme during the course of the year, and if there are deviations of 10%, the working plan is automatically corrected. Neither in determining the work schedule does it make sense for the workers to lie and take more or less service, because all working hours are shared among all Social Villagers. Nor in the needs assessment does it make sense for the consumers to lie, because they are first allowed to wish for everything and immediately afterwards see how much free time it would cost them and whether they want to afford it. You don’t have to ask for more to at least get what you would actually need. An algorithm automatically ensures that production is expanded or curtailed if a 10% deviation from the needs assessment is detected. The government in the form of politicians does not directly determine supply, demand or prices. Prices are no longer a control mechanism of the government, but are found in equilibrium by workers and consumers. Factors are scientifically formed that more accurately determine labour output per hour. Democratic governance, direct election of all politicians responsible for services in the Planned Economy and self-determination of Social Villagers at plenary assemblies, budget committees and needs assessments are also crucial.
2 Departments
The departments are divided into sub-departments and enumerations are usually considered as their individual units. Many tasks of some departments are completely taken over by other ministries as a service.
2.1 Central Department
Part of the Central Department is the Reception Office with the Courier and Mail Room, which directs all concerns, broadcasts and visitors to the appropriate place in the ministry.
2.1.1 Staff
The Human Resources Department is responsible for staff development and planning. For this purpose, it takes care of the recruitment of junior staff, intern and trainee programmes as well as the selection procedures for employees and special selection procedures for applicants with disabilities. For politicians and employees, the department prepares a job plan. In all its tasks, it works in voting with the personnel board.3
All other personnel matters are transferred to the respective ministries. The Ministry of Education is responsible for the training and further education of employees for the state service.4 The Ministry of Labour takes over the service law.5 This includes labour and collective bargaining law for employees in the state service, remuneration, personnel administration of all careers and employees, flexitime, holiday and sick leave, working time with or without flexitime in part-time or full-time at the place of work or in home work.

The Ministry of Digital Affairs supports the supply of Information Technology.16 In voting with the Procurement Office of the Ministry of Labour, it takes care of the procurement, provision, maintenance and service of technical devices and software. Much of this is produced in-house to ensure data protection in information and communication technology. Information technology and digitalisation officers audit and advise the ministries. Digital appointment calendar and documentation services are provided as well as a digital policy archive including a library.
2.2 Management Department
The Management Department is the minister’s department. With his office team, he provides policy planning and analysis for his ministry and coordinates the relationship between the nation and the municipality through exchanges with his deputies in the municipalities. He initiates cooperation with other ministries or citizens in committees and is supported by the Ministry of State Organisation.
The Ministry of Media Affairs, through its media service, provides press and public relations for the ministry, moderates civil dialogue, trains or provides a spokesperson for the minister, writes speeches and texts on request, and ensures the implementation of conferences and events.17
The Ministry of Digital Affairs is responsible for digital management and thus provides departmental management. It automatically produces business statistics, staff surveys and the current state of research through statistics. It automatically forwards proposals to the affected or empowered state employees. In document management, it ensures digitalisation and that ministries share forms with each other.18
2.3 European Department
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ensures the constant transmission of the latest information on current European policy affecting the ministry concerned, applicable European Union law and all European Union funding programmes starting or in progress.19
The European Department ensures the necessary trade agreements between European Union Member States so that goods can be imported via the social market and goods from the work area of luxury supply can be exported. Further provisions can be found in the chapter on foreign trade.
2.4 Department for Social Villages
The Department for Social Villages organises plenary assemblies, committees and voting in Planned Economy in cooperation with the Ministries of State Organisation, Media and Digital Affairs. It operates the social directory20 and facilitates the use of the social card in cooperation with the Ministries of Finance, Integration and Digital Affairs.

In cooperation with the other ministries of economy, it determines the residence rights for the Planned Economy. With the People’s Protection Service, the Company Auditing Agency and the People’s Bank21 , the move of persons, companies and finances into and out of the Planned Economy is organised.
2.5 Department for Economy and Enterprises
The Department for Economy and Enterprises coordinates economic cooperation between the Social Villages and with other economic forms. It monitors capacity utilisation and ensures equal burden sharing. It organises the needs assessments and, in cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Affairs, runs the computer programme to simulate needs and consumption, calculate prices and prepare the duty roster. In cooperation with the Company Auditing Agency, it analyses economic trends and proposes appropriate measures to the Minister for Planned Economy. In cooperation with the People’s Bank, it ensures the operation of the People’s Bank accounts and the clearing of the accounts for working hours and work performance.

3 Tasks of the Ministry of Planned Economy
The task of the Ministry of Planned Economy is to organise the government of the Social Villages in the sense of dynamic media democracy. This gives Social Villagers the opportunity to participate to a greater or lesser extent in the government and shaping of enterprise policy. The Ministry of Planned Economy has the task of supporting the coexistence of the Social Villagers. On the one hand, this is done through digital applications in the Social Directory or with the Social Card and, on the other hand, through the possibilities for self-organisation in communities for living, working and organising leisure time.
The Ministry of Planned Economy regulates the right of residence in the Social Villages. Linked to this are requirements for voluntary or necessarily moving in, moving between economic forms, site selection, death and moving out. The Ministry of Planned Economy has the task to make the necessarily stay as short as possible for Social Villagers and as comfortable as possible for voluntary Social Villagers.
With its economic policy, the Ministry of Planned Economy fulfils the task of enabling a minimum level of prosperity, economic development in the interests of the population and sustainable growth through the alliance of all Social Villages. The ministry has a special role in the economic cycle with the other economic forms, especially the market economy, whose waste and unemployed are upgraded.
With its enterprise policy, the Ministry of Planned Economy pursues the task of democratically negotiating and coordinating the management, needs assessment, consumption, prices and the duty roster. In this way, the Ministry of Planned Economy ensures a balance of supply and demand for the benefit of the working and at the same time consuming population of the Social Villages. In order to provide revenues and property for the Social Villagers, the Ministry of Planned Economy regulates the use of people’s property to generate private and municipal revenues.
With the work area of basic supply, the Ministry of Planned Economy fulfils the task of supporting the Social Villagers with essential goods and services. Social Villagers are responsible for providing goods and services through compulsory working hours in Planned Businesses and Planned Enterprises.
With the luxury supply work area, the Ministry of Planned Economy fulfils the task of enabling Social Villagers to do voluntary work for the production of desirable luxury goods, for setting up businesses or for research.
Through the economic sectors of Planned Economy, the Ministry provides for the independent production of all Social Villages’ own needs. The Ministry of Planned Economy ensures the operation of Social Villages that specialise in large-scale industrial production in various sectors. Through the real estate sector, the ministry fulfils the task of ensuring that there is enough space for housing, working and living and that conflicting interest groups do not get in each other’s way. Through the finance economy and currency policy, the ministry ensures a stable currency and value creation oriented towards rising living standards and more leisure time. With agriculture, the ministry fulfils the task of using the land of the Social Villages as optimally as possible for the production of renewable raw materials, food and medicine. With its foreign trade, the ministry protects Planned Economy from exploitation by other economic forms or the global economy, ensures a balanced foreign trade and enables new companies to enter the market.
The Ministry of Planned Economy’s tax policy is designed to cover the expenses of the other ministries’ services and to allow Social Villagers to share a part of their community revenues.
The task of the Planned Economy is to guarantee social rights through social welfare. The ministry ensures the necessary regularisation of social welfare funding.
The tasks of the other ministries in the Planned Economy are administration, security, health, rehabilitation, energy supply, support for the disabled, children, senior citizens and asylum seekers, as well as the placement of the unemployed and information.
In the event of a disaster, the Ministry of Planned Economy has the task of adequately supporting the population and the security forces, if necessary nationwide.
4 Social Village government23
The Ministry of Planned Economy pursues an economic policy that allows the economic form to exist autonomously. The other economic forms can trade conditionally with the Planned Economy, but have no say in how and with whom work is done. The autonomy of the Planned Economy can be limited by the Constitution and the Ministries of Labour and Health.
Social Villagers mainly administer themselves at the municipal level and form a municipal alliance of all Social Villages to support each other.24 Compared to other municipalities, more services are offered and provided by the municipal community. The Social Villagers democratically decide which of them will provide which of these services, when and how. If the voting results between Social Villagers and the rest of the people differ, a decision is made in favour of the affected Social Villagers or a People’s Committee has to be convened.
4.1 Social Villagers
Social Villagers are solidary and self-determined citizens who organise and coordinate their labour democratically. They use their labour power to support, amuse and educate each other as well as to research and invent new things together. They also house and support needy children, the elderly, the sick and the disabled within their means with state support in the form of skilled workers and equipment.
4.2 Politicians of the Planned Economy
For all circumstances that distinguish a Social Village from a municipality of the market economy, the Ministry of Planned Economy is responsible. For all other areas, the responsibility lies with the respective ministry. The responsible contact person for the Social Villagers is the deputy minister of the relevant ministry. The deputy minister for Planned Economy, elected by the Social Villagers, is responsible for the operation of the work areas for basic supply and luxury supply, as well as for the establishment and closure of Planned Businesses and Planned Enterprises. Responsibility for the living areas of housing, food, clothing and hygiene is the responsibility of one politician each, who is directly elected by the Social Villagers. As soon as the provision in one of the areas of life becomes deficient, the Social Villagers can force this politician to the committee through a veto quorum or dismiss him via the deselection quorum.25 The same applies to the deputy ministers.
4.3 Cabinet
The cabinet of a Social Village consists of the deputy ministers for Labour, Education, Digital, Family, Finance, Health, Infrastructure, Innovation, Integration, Justice, Media, Security, State Organisation and Planned Economy, as well as the politicians for Housing, Food, Clothing and Sanitation. The election of all posts is direct and new election takes place once a deselection quorum of 50% is reached. The cabinet determines the implementation of services and the fulfilment of needs assessment in its meetings. Social Villagers can move Cabinet meetings to committees through a 30% veto quorum. All cabinets of all Social Villages travel to the capital city of Planned Economy for a week each year and meet together before the annual needs assessment in all Social Villages. Exchanges of labour, goods, assets and responsibilities are negotiated and successful strategies are shared. All meetings are open to the public and are broadcast on the Social Villages’ regional Citizen Television .26
