Anyone knows to what extent the Soviet Union used actual, grounded 
scientific planning? Thinking of _Towards a New Socialism_ it would appear 
that large-scale planning was impossible with the computational resources of 
the time at a decent level of granularity, but I'd like to know what 
actually was done and to what extent it functioned.
