As the title: Create a world where (almost) all capitalist countries are planned economies, while most socialist countries have a market economy.
We have highly centrally planned economies in the capitalist west. Neoliberalism.
Interestingly, it's starting to show some of the same issues of stagnation as centrally planned state socialism did.
Neoliberalism is hardly a centerally planned economy. It's certainly the centeralization of RISK (which, while it's best this dosen't turn into a full flight political discussion, does create moral hazard and extends the life of parts of the economy that otherwise would have had to adapt or die) is hardly same as direction being sent down as to what bussiness must do.

So a Fascist vs. Syndicalist cold war?Fascism could be considered capitalist with planned economies, in Nazi Germany at least, the capitalists owned the means of production but they were ultimately subservient to the state. The People's Republic of China could be said to use a similar model.
As for socialist market economies, that's simple. Have a system in which all companies are coops, and engage in a wider free market economy. a.k.a. Anarcho-Syndicalism.

Neoliberalism can be substituted here for the Second five year plan and this post remains equally true. Much of this thread is probably going to be farcical projections on to the actual structure of plan behaviour, finance capital behaviour and firm behaviour in the Soviet Union.
than I'd assert it's a matter of the Soviets not implimenting a command economy
I said centrally planned, I didn't say "state involvement"/STATE planning.I'm not quite sure that judging a structural term based on results is fair. One can get to a similar destination by multiple routes with those routes still being highly distinct.
If that's the definition of "Planned Economy" we're going with, than I'd assert it's a matter of the Soviets not implimenting a command economy than Neoliberalism not being a market system.
How...
You're asking for square circles and married bachelors.
Even without antitrust laws firms have not been able to dominate the entire market for extended periods of time. Even if your scenario actually came to pass, it would still not be a planned economy.Just prevent anti-Trust and you end up with an economy that is capitalist in name, but actually divided among several tycoons with very little market interference and a lot of planning.

Give any 3/4 examples where monopolies existed without government issued contracts/ help.That's up for discussion.
