Economic Planning and Development

About The Book

A conventional dual-system society is transformed by economic progress into a productive framework in which everyone contributes and benefits appropriately. Economic development takes place when all societal sectors experience the positive effects of economic growth due to economic efficiency and equity. Agency, transaction, secondary, and opportunity costs are just a few of the negative externalities to society that will be present along with economic efficiency. A long-term framework that has been properly constructed is an economic development plan. It is employed to support communities in a variety of circumstances. The objective of economic development planning is to build and sustain a robust, thriving local economy. Planning for local government economic development requires intergovernmental coordination and is a component of a region's overall economic development strategy. The economic development plan gives a thorough assessment of the economy, establishes policy priorities for economic growth, and outlines initiatives, programmes, and methods for economic improvement. Key economic choices are made or affected by central governments through the process of economic planning. In contrast, the laissez-faire strategy avoids any attempt to steer the economy and instead relies on market forces to decide the rate, course, and type of economic evolution. The author concludes by recalling the initial time of development planning's excitement and the subsequent drop in expectations for the planning process and its significance. The fundamental knowledge regarding the global planning and economic development is provided in this book.
