俄罗斯已故经济记者奥托?拉齐斯(Otto Latsis)曾完美地向我解释了苏联体制荒唐的一面。他回忆自己曾参观一家苏联屋顶瓦制造公司,该公司有多项宏大的扩张计划。他发现,所有的投资都流入了另一家工厂,其业务是销毁报废的次品瓦片,以阻止工人们在黑市上销售这些瓦片。
As with most Soviet factories, the planners had set demanding targets for the new plant, focusing on quantity rather than quality, creating perverse incentives to smash up near-perfect tiles. It is hard to think of a starker example of the value destruction that wrecked the Soviet economy.
与大多数苏联工厂一样,规划者为新工厂设定了苛刻的目标,专注于数量而非质量,这带来了变态的激励——砸碎几近完美的瓦片。很难想出一个更赤裸的价值破坏的例子,正是这种价值破坏毁掉了苏联经济。
But the explosion of data in our modern world could — at least in theory — inform far better managerial decisions and reduce the information imbalances between a planned and a market economy. Central planners are rapidly acquiring the tools to process data a lot more effectively.
但是,我们现代世界的数据爆炸——至少在理论上——为进行更好的管理决策、减少计划与市场经济之间的信息失衡提供了指引。中央计划者正迅速获得能够更有效处理数据的工具。
