In the works was an entirely new economic model-aimed at decentralizing the economy and stimulating production through a combination of incentives and labor-force reduction. That would mean carrying workers as unemployed-anathema to Marxists. It would also be a threat to central planning.

At Chrysler, the compact Dart and Valiant are down, but the big Chrysler...

Even for small nations, several man-years of effort would be necessary to incorporate all the fine-grained statistics need for an effective plan. Although each nation requires a different population policy in accordance with its particular development program, the computer could easily adapt its core of "hard knowledge" gained from research in the field...
