ABSTRACT
Ticktin never explains how his non-market, non-bureaucratic planning would or could work. So it is difficult to discuss his implied model. (On one attempt to do so, I was met with the reply: ‘The very notion of a model is unMarxist!’) That Soviet-type planning differs radically from that envisaged by Marx is, of course, true. For reasons developed at length in Part 1 of the present work, it could not possibly conform to what Marx did envisage!
