520 _aEconomic Planning is a complex social process affecting many aspects of welfare. The nature, extent, and success of economic planning are, therefore, among the most prominent subjects in the comparison of national economic systems, particularly of the predominantly 'Centrally planned economies of the East' and the chiefly 'market-oriented economies of the West.' Economic planning differs widely in the 'Eastern' and 'Western' countries and this is reflected in the very conception of economic planning. The degree of failure and achievement varies not only because of the type of planning systems but also because of the success or failure of implementation. Hence, the search for an ideal economic planning system which has led to global studies on the subject. Economic Planning and Policies the World Over claims to satisfy this urge by providing highly useful and latest information, in a lucid manner, in respect of the economic planning systems in 20 selected countries, around the world, consisting of those which have succeeded admirably, those which are still struggling with their planning apparatus, those which have failed in their attempts, and even those which have developed an aversion to economic planning. The author of the book is a well-known economist and economic administrator. Academic excellence and practical insight combine to produce in one volume, an exceptionally useful compilation relating to the economic planning systems around the world including a special and detailed analysis of economic planning and policies in India. The importance of the book lies in the fact that it is highly authoritative, being based on the information and publications furnished by the respective governments. It is especially designed for Honours as well as Post-graduate students, both in India and abroad. Researchers, administrators and policy makers and, above all, economic planners will benefit immensely from this work..
