Conventional wisdom has it that government management of the economy is the means to transform a backward economy into a dynamic, modern one. Yet, after decades of international aid programs, development planning is today largely perceived as a failure paralyzed by its own bureaucracy and inefficiency.
Collapse of Development Planning. Book Description: Conventional wisdom has it that government management of the economy is the means to transform a backward economy into a dynamic, modern one. Development planning is a beguiling and innocuous term which should not be confused with the daily necessity of planning one’s life activities. Most people have some plan designed to achieve a certain objective, which may be financial, political, or career-related.
Much of the suffering throughout the developing world in the 20th century was caused by bad ideas in economic theory and public policy and that these bad ideas were promulgated because of misguided notions in the philosophy of science as applied to the social sciences.

Conventional wisdom has it that government management of the economy is the means to transform a backward economy into a dynamic, modern one. Yet, after decades of international aid programs, development planning is today largely perceived as a failure paralyzed by its own bureaucracy and inefficiency. Despite billions of dollars of investment, development successes are few and far between and waste and mismanagement abounds.
This book showcases a diverse range of development experiences in order to ascertain the reasons for this quagmire. Case studies of development planning in China, India, post-WWII Japan, South Korea, Africa, and Eastern Europe, and of foreign aid programs (including the Marshall Plan) illustrate the insights an Austrian approach provides toward an understanding of the failure of government development planning. While economists working within the Austrian tradition have previously addressed development issues, this volume represents the first full-length treatment of the subject from a modern market process perspective. Exploding the hegemony of the traditional development paradigm, The Collapse of Development Planning addresses one of the most pressing issues of international political economy.
