Chapter 16: Economic Transition Plan I: Transition Period
16.3. Establishment of the preparatory organization for the Economic Planning Conference
After creating merged corporations that integrate the key industries included in the scope of the planned economy, the next step is to establish the preparatory organization for the Economic Planning Conference (hereinafter simply referred to as the preparatory organization), which will serve as the predecessor of the Economic Planning Conference, the body that will formulate and implement the future planned economy.
In a sustainable planned economy, the economic planning body is not an administrative central command body, but rather a collegial body jointly operated by the production business organizations themselves that are the subject of the planned economy. Therefore, the preparatory organization, which will be its predecessor, will also have a similar structure and will be composed as a collegial organization of the merged corporations that will be the predecessors of the production business organizations.
For this reason, the preparatory organization at its inception will likely take on the appearance of a kind of business association, but since the purpose of this preparatory organization is precisely to prepare for future economic planning activities, its main task will be to strive to develop the material and human resources necessary for the formulation and implementation of the economic plan.
As for the material resources necessary for the formulation and implementation of the economic plan, a large-scale computer system to be used in the plan is a typical example. As will be discussed again in a later appendix, economic planning is based on a sophisticated foundation of computational science.
On the other hand, the human resources base will primarily consist of training and deploying "environmental economic researchers (ecolonomists)," essential professionals who conduct economic analysis and forecasting from an environmental perspective in the practical application of economic planning, and "environmental economic analysts," who collect and analyze environmental economic data.
The Economic Planning Conference, which will be completed in the future, will function as a kind of economic decision-making body alongside the Common's Convention, which deliberates and decides on political issues. It will form a bicameral system with the Common's Convention, and therefore the preparatory organization will not be merely an incorporated association, but will have the legal status of a special public body.
For this reason, the preparatory organization will be organized as a conference with the executives in charge of each merged corporation as delegates, and during the transition period of the economic transition, conducting tabletop exercises of economic planning toward the formulation of the future formal first three-year economic plan will be an important task.
