Heterodox Planning
Description
Christoph Sorg:
"Here, economic planning is defined as the active and intentional shaping of markets within market economies. Heterodox planning projects seek to develop more participatory, socially inclusive, and sustainable forms of planning. The capacities, obstacles, and contradictions of such heterodox planning approaches are of great interest to a normatively grounded social science, particularly in these times of overlapping crises.
The empirical and theoretical focus of HP can be explained as follows: while the new debate on economic planning centers largely on theories of post-capitalist planning, little empirical and theoretical work has been done on the debate’s original premise that "planning is already endemic in capitalism." HP addresses this point by focusing on planning processes within market economies."
