If you say you can use fancy maths to make tanks roll faster off the assembly lines, or guide an ICBM towards Moscow/Washington, then the regime will happily support you. But if you get in your head that you can apply the same fancy math to run the economy, the regime will object - obviously - and label you as too communist/not communist enough, and persecute you/ship you off to a gulag.

I dont understand why you get down voted. Economics are ultimately about physical power and any new emerging model is a thread to the dominant power structure aka the current model.

The conflicting models were the origin of the cold war (capitalism vs communism) and today between china and the west.

Isn’t China essentially capitalist now? The main difference in my mind is authoritarianism vs liberalism.
