Which of the following is not characteristic of a centrally planned economy? each person is assigned a job. the central government owns all land and capital. the central government makes all economic decisions. each collective or factory sets its own goals.

The last option is not characteristic of a centrally planned economy. In economies where the government plans everything from a large-scale point of view down to the little details, they assign people to certain jobs, and property and capital is state-owned. Each group, collective or factory simply must follow and meet the goals set by the state, and they do not have to set their own targets.

One key element is humour! the man probably represents a politician or worker!
