Summary: The book fills the long felt need for the uptodate study of the dynamic science of economic planning in the con text of Indian planning experience and analyses empirical dimensions of the theory of planning. The exceptional feature of the book is the large number of ideas, concepts or models woven into coherent themes. The necessity of democratic decentralised planning in the LDC's is convincingly presented. Mechanics of the eco nomic models of growth and development and correspond ing planned techniques are comprehensively explained. Starting with the favourite Harrod-Domar Model, the book introduces not only the Feldman-Mahalanobis Model but also the more practical and relevant models like Raj and Sen, Leontiet, Kamsey and Mainvaud as also the different theoretical ideas to planning. Moreover, with an easy illustration of the use of the popular tools of economic planning the authors trace out the appropriate planning path for India and the Third World. The book is a bold attempt to tackle a provocative and at the same time a popular theme elaborately and precisely.
