So basically, centralization with lots of government control over the centralized entities? Decentralization sounds a lot better to me.

There is no reason why we'd have to use purely centralized government control to fix these issues.
For example, we can offset some mechanistic parts of government to decentralized systems.
Or we can change ownership structures to promote cooperative modes of entreprise.
We can also use decentralized systems to make government more accountable by preventing those in power from hiding their misdeeds.
There is a lot that can be done to move away from markets where there is decentralization but no flexibility as the profit motive reins supreme, and centralized government that can operate arbitrarily but based on central motivations.
