‘Central Planning Fantasyland’: Whatever Happened to the Green New Deal? – ‘It failed because it is based upon a socialistic model of command-&-control akin to the former Soviet Union’
Mises.org: Indeed, the vast regulatory system that is the very pride of the progressive movement of the past 120 years plays a part in the inability of governments to carry out many of their grandiose schemes. But it is much more than just regulation; without market prices and the prospects of profits and losses, the government planners tasked with implementing these programs are unable to make rational economic decisions. When their own fiat decision-making process runs headlong into the regulatory system that was created to deter private enterprise from building profitable projects, what remains is a wealth-killing stalemate.
The Green New Deal has not failed because of a lack of political will or because government regulators were too good at their jobs. It failed because it is based upon a socialistic model of command-and-control akin to the former Soviet Union.
