gollark: What?
gollark: Not as much as it would be if one entity just did *all* economic planning.
gollark: It's not an infrastructure problem, it's a this-is-computationally-very-hard problem, and a horribly-centralizes-power problem, and a bad-incentives-to-be-efficient problem, and a responding-to-local-information problem.
gollark: And in general lots of things can be done better, or *at all*, if you have a giant plant somewhere producing resources for big fractions of the world.
gollark: Some resources (lithium and such are big issues nowadays) only exist in a few places, so you have to ship from there.
