The basic text of Working Time Calculation, “Basic Principles of Communist Production and Distribution” (1935), has now been published by Red & Black Books for free download. In printed form, the book is available, for example, at Syndikat-A.
In English, there is currently a 19-part podcast series on the “Basic Principles.”
And the makers of the podcast announce that they want to write a book about the “Basic Principles” and ask for support. In any case, it sounds exciting:
What has long been dismissed as an impossible dream, we reveal to be both simple and elegant. (…) Planning is a continuous and distributed process. Communist theory must come to terms with this reality. Planning is not reducible to arbitrary time epochs, decided by administrative convenience. It must be a living, organic, democratic and continuous process, answering only to its own internal rhythms and the rational control of its participants.
