The need for planning arises from the inability of the price mechanism to ensure growth, efficiency and equity. Sometimes the political objective of a nation may dictate the necessity of planning and the government may need to intervene in the economic activities of the country.
The more pressings are the development problems, the greater is the need for planning. Hence, the art of planning is to intervene in the economy with sufficient vigor to overcome the major problems without at the same time exceeding the capacity of the civil service and causing a breakdown of development administration. The proper balance between intervention and restrain is likely to be both delicate and changing: delicate because administrative capacity is small and limited, and the problems are immense; changing because the ability of the management to analyze and resolve difficulties should increase.
