  Kyn - Rychetnik: Optimal Central Planning
The role of the central control should be to improve economic co-ordination where decentralized decisions alone are unable to ensure the dynamic equilibrium of the economy.
Central control may direct the development of the economy in agreement with the goals of the whole society.
Central control bases itself on trends of development as they appear in the macrostructure and in distribution, on the primary resources, on the main trends of science, technology and organization, and on preferences of society as a whole.

 China: Economic achievements, future problems
The central economic work conference that has just concluded pointed out that the better the situation, the more necessary it is that we soberly perceive the contradictions and problems existing in economic and social development.
As this central economic work conference pointed out, with regard to these problems, we must take a long-term view, focus on the present, and persist in applying the methods of reform and development to seriously resolve them.
This latest central economic work conference has summed up this year's economic work in a scientific, pragmatic, and cool attitude, showing that the party has become more mature and self-confident in applying Marxist stance, viewpoint, and method to analyse and resolve practical problems.

 The Sverges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 1969-2006
This is recognized in the prize citation, which declares that Samuelson "actively contributed to raising the level of analysis in economic science." It is hardly an exaggeration to say that he single-handedly rewrote considerable parts of central economic theory: microeconomic theory, static and dynamic, partial and general equilibrium theory, as well as welfare economics.
More specifically, if economic policy makers are not able to commit their policy measures in advance to a specific policy rule, later on they will often, in fact, not pursue the policy which they initially regarded as the best one.
Research on the borderline between economics and philosophy was honored with the Prize to Amartya Sen (in 1998) "for his contributions to welfare economics." Sen scrutinized the philosophical foundations of collective decisions and welfare evaluations, including problems of evaluating the distribution of income and wealth.

 Royal Economic Society: 1998 Media Briefings
Two conclusions emerge from his theoretical analysis: one, independent central banks may not always be desirable; but two, if they are desirable, it is better to give them full independence so that they set their own inflation targets.
A natural implication is that central bank independence cannot be imposed when there are sharp divisions in society over the relative merits of low inflation and stabilisation policy.
This explains why independent central banks have emerged in countries where there is a stronger consensus on the costs of inflation (such as Germany and the United States), and why institutional design as a universal approach to tackling the problem of high inflation has been overstated.

 Royal Economic Society: 1999 Media Briefings
But according to Christian Schultz, writing in the latest issue of the Economic Journal, a polarisation of politics in a country can have a profound and potentially dangerous influence on the choice of central banker, reflecting the colour of the government rather than the needs of the economy.
In a society that is less polarised, the appointment of the central banker is optimal from the point of view of the median voter.
If a leftist party suggests a very conservative central banker (or a conservative economic policy), this is a credible signal to left wing voters, that it probably is a good idea since the likelihood of very bad shocks is low.

 Economic Freedom and Economic Growth: Newsroom: The Independent Institute
Smith’s conclusions were generally accepted among economists until the twentieth century, when developments in economic theory reversed the conventional wisdom and led economists to advocate central planning and government control as a better way to produce prosperity, especially among less-developed economies.
Although the idea that economic freedom leads to economic growth was not challenged directly, it nonetheless fell by the wayside earlier this century.
Central planning, they said, could guarantee that economies invested a sufficient share of their incomes, could direct that investment to sectors that would add more value to the economy (for example, away from agriculture and natural resources, and toward manufacturing), and could ensure that the new investment embodied the most advanced technology.
