5. Note (for later reference) that, both in formulating and in implementing a national plan of this kind, information on who is to do what must not be lost in the process of aggregating to national totals. Otherwise, the central planners will not be able (after adjusting the totals for consistency or optimality) to send back the adjusted figures to the right operating economic agents. Zaleski refers to a national plan of this kind as “an aggregation of administrative dossiers” (Eugene Zaleski, “Planning for Industrial Growth,” in V. G. Treml and R. Farrell, eds., The Development of the Soviet Economy [New York: Praeger, 1968], p. 68). (This source is a useful reference on Soviet planning systems in different periods.)
