    Planned manufacturing by one business isn’t a planned economy of all businesses. Walmart plans the supply chain to optimize pickle delivery to their store. Steam determines how many programmer hours should go to improving Linux gaming.

    A planned economy means someone is telling Walmart how many many hours should go into pickle delivery and how many hours should go into Linux. Obviously food is more important than gaming so the developers at Steam will be moved to factory software automation to improve pickle delivery.
