Not really.

If employers need 1,000 neurosurgeons, but only 800 exist in the US, no amount of pay is going to magically create a new neurosurgeon.

That's not how economics works.
Please explain.

From what i understand it takes more than a decade to create a new neurosurgeon.

No amount of money can create one today.

The premise of a command economy where you top down specify you need N of something is faulty to begin with.
Huh? You're saying a command economy can create a new neurosurgeon instantly?
