For the occasion on which everyone already knows everyone else and the host wishes them to meet one or a few honored newcomers, then the `` open house '' system is advantageous because the honored guests are fixed connective points and the drifting guests make and break connections at the door.

The connective system, or network, is tailored to meet the requirements of the objective, and it is therefore not surprising that a military body acting as a single coordinated unit has a different communication network than a factory, a college, or a rural village.

The problem is rather to find out what is actually happening, and this is especially difficult for the reason that `` we are busily being defended from a knowledge of the present, sometimes by the very agencies -- our educational system, our mass media, our statesmen -- on which we have had to rely most heavily for understanding of ourselves ''.

It is an organized system of these things.

This is necessary for a sounder collective defense system.

The highway system is an agency of government, and when it grinds up 40,000 Americans every year the government is destroying its own taxpayers, which is obviously a silly thing for any government to do.

Beginning in the 1980s and 1990s, many governments presiding over planned economies began marketization ( or as in the Soviet Union, the system collapsed ) and moving toward market-based economies by allowing individual enterprises to make the pricing, production, and distribution decisions, granting autonomy to state enterprises and ultimately expanding the scope of the private sector through privatization.

Critics of planned economies argue that planners cannot detect consumer preferences, shortages, and surpluses with sufficient accuracy and therefore cannot efficiently co-ordinate production ( in a market economy, a free price system is intended to serve this purpose ).

Says Hahnel, " Combined with a more democratic political system, and redone to closer approximate a best case version, centrally planned economies no doubt would have performed better.

After being shut down in the spring of 2000, it has been superseded by systems such as the American GPS and the planned European GALILEO positioning system.

In the new system of European routes, it was planned to have been a part of E 55, but it remains in the pre-1992 designation ( E 4 ) within Sweden, because the expenses connected with re-signing this long road portion would be too large.

The conservatives planned a monarchist political system, with a lesser role for Parliament.

There are also the planned European Union Galileo positioning system, Chinese Compass navigation system, and Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System.

The required satellites ( the planned number is 30 ) will be launched throughout the period 2011 – 2014 and the system will be up and running and under civilian control from 2019.

An additional € 1. 9 billion was planned to be spent bringing the system up to the full complement of 30 satellites ( 27 operational + 3 active spares ).

In any social system in which communications have an importance comparable with that of production and other human factors, a point like f in Figure 2 would ( other things being equal ) be the dwelling place for the community leader, while e and h would house the next most important citizens.

Was it the party's intention, for example, to abolish gradually the kolkhoz system and replace it by uniformly wage-earning kolkhozes, i.e., state farms ( which were, moreover, to be progressively `` urbanized '' )??

The ultimate trail system will be of value primarily for recreation and wildlife utilization and fire protection.

The cost of developing a major weapon system is now so enormous that the greatest care must be exercised in selecting new systems for development, in determining the most satisfactory rate of development, and in deciding the proper time at which either to place a system into production or to abandon it.

By that time we should be in a much better position to determine the value of that aircraft as a weapon system.
