Pandora's Box, E1: The Engineers' Plot
nagualdesign
The first episode of Adam Curtis's 1992 BBC series Pandora's Box, on the engineers' plot, examining communism in the Soviet Union and the rise and limits of technocratic central planning.
HN recommends it as a fun, well-made documentary on Soviet planning, Gosplan, and why central control failed.
