Hello,

More often than not the fall of the Soviet Union is attributed to the
failure of Central Planning. Adam Curtis explores this theme in his
documentary 'Pandora's Box - The Engineers' Plot'

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3gwyHNo7MI

He begins telling the story of how science and engineering were seen
as key to making the USSR an industrial super power with standards of
living comparable to those of the USA. He explores how the economy was
planned and organised and how while despite initial success it
eventually failed.
