Best Answer

Central planning offered a means to concentrate scarce economic resources on the development of industry and infrastructure, but it never resolved the problem of identifying and responding promptly to consumer wants and adjusting rapidly to wider economic change expressed in capitalist economies through the market. In practice its accounting mechanisms also tended to prioritise quantity rather than quality, promoting heavy industry at the expense of satisfying consumer demand.

What happens to most centrally planned economies?

Centrally planned economies can only be successful if they are incredibly small. Imagine A single group in America trying to control all the prices in the countless markets - it would simply not be possible. Therefore, most centrally planned economies eventually turn into some sort of free market economy. When prices are determined by the give and take of supply and demand, they are much easier to maintain.
