Another thing possibly worth thinking about is the need for an in-depth underlying analysis and model for the proposed economy. Previously-defined political systems like communism, socialism, capitalism, national socialism, etc. all have a basic library of books that define and analyze the proposed new system. (Obvious examples: "The Communist Manifesto," "Das Kapital," "Wealth of Nations," "Mein Kampf...")

Is the proposal here to accept one of these or to develop something new?

Which one was based on the Wealth of Nations? I missed that one.

The problem with ideologies is that they're always too simple to apply to the real world. They deal in ideals, which never occur.

In any case, none of the political systems followed their text for more than about 15 seconds. Except maybe Nazism.
