Economic planning: formulation and implementation v.2

Planning for Economic Development or a new Social order is now a pre-occupation of most governments and a sort of academic exercise by economic experts. No one has yet formulated any theory of planning as such. All that has been done is to do some analytic work on growth and development, with the help of some sort of simple or more complex models, with the purpose to change a given economic situation into a measurable new one at a certain fixed date.
In this outstanding book the learned contributors discuss in detail: Emergence of Theories of Economic Development; Socio Economic Survey; Conditions for Sustained, Non-Inflationary Economic Growth; Monetary Policy for Dynamic Growth; Balance between Agriculture and Industry; Capital Goods; Cost-Benefit Analysis; Basic Principles and Methodology: Government Decision-making: Macro-Economic Models for Planning: Thoughts on Planning: Investment Allocation and Choice of Techniques; Market Mechanisms; Indian Planning: Planning in Developing Countries; Sixth Five Year Plan; Seventh Five Year Plan: Indian Plans: Retrospects and Prospects: Making Planning Process Realistic; Reminiscences and Suggestions on Planning: Planning for the Future: Key Issues; etc.
This important book will be of great use to teachers, scholars and students of Economics, Commerce, Management and Public Administration: Planners and Policy Makers; and all those interested in the study of Planning and Economic Development.
