This was explained many years ago by the famous Scottish poet, Robbert Burns, who wrote, the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley, or in the English translation, often go astray.

We live in a world in which seven billion people are all making their own plans. It is virtually impossible to get everybody to go along with any given plan, even in a more limited area such as a single country or a single city.

The USSR used to make economic plans based on the ideal that everybody would work together for the common good. But it turned out, not too many people wanted to do that, and they preferred to work selfishly for their own personal good.

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.

How did planned economy start?

Planned economies emerged in the early 20th century, primarily in response to the perceived failures of capitalism, particularly during the Great Depression. The most notable example is the Soviet Union, which implemented a centrally planned economy following the Russian Revolution of 1917. Governments aimed to control production, distribution, and prices to achieve economic stability and equality. This model was later adopted by various countries, often with the goal of rapid industrialization and social welfare.
