We welcome back Donal to the show, to talk about a paper he wrote for the new radical journal - The Black Lamp. The paper is called:
‘Viability Guided Decision Making: Modelling organisations using Viability Guided Decision Making’
It’s a very interesting paper which proposes a novel approach to fairly recent developments in cybernetic theory, and applying them to complex social systems. Donal, on top of the book project we are working on, has just completed a masters in System Engineering & Engineering Cybernetics in the Kazan National Research University over in Russia.

This week Donal and myself discuss a really excellent book we recently read on the socialist calculation debate. The book is called Rivalry and Central Planning, and is written by the Austrian economist Don Lavoie.
