Development planning

the long version

This book does not overlap with my earlier book, The Theory of Economic Growth, partly because the fist book is philosophical while the second is operational, but mainly because I had not yet had experience of most of the problems discussed in the second book while I was writing the first. In order to be comprehensive the second book would need the extensive discussion of economic institutions and their improvement which appears in the first, but I have resisted the temptation to repeat myself, since most readers of this book will also access to the earlier one.
