Summary: "Central planning of production is today characteristic not only of communist societies but, in a modified degree, of virtually every industrialized state. Among the factors entering into the planning process are the extent of centralization of decision making, the question of how "democratic" the process should be -- i.e. how many interested groups should participate in drawing up the plan -- and the utility of forecasts. Data on planning programs, collected from Western, developing, and communist nations by means of an exhaustive questionnaire, are presented in a series of informative tables. Of special significance is Mr. Tinbergen's contention that "policy as well as planning in the international community should be carried out partly by a set of appropriate international -- or rather supranational -- organs." Mr. Tinbergen is a director of the Netherlands Economic Institute in Rotterdam." -- From the back cover.
