8. Yes

[Irish_Dem]

6. This is called a command economy.

In this system, the government dictates what will be produced, how it will be produced, and who will receive the goods and services, often aiming for equitable distribution.

This is in contrast to market economies, where supply and demand primarily guide production and distribution.

[Ocelot II]

9. Or a two-week plan, since that's as far ahead as he seems to be able to think.

And after two weeks nothing happens anyhow.

11. Hat tip to ya.

[Turbineguy]

10. Sounds a bit

Stalin-like.
