Development planning the arithmetic of planning

Abstract

The Arithmetic of Planning is the making of the plan should begin simultaneously at its two ends at the individual Project level and at the macroeconomic level. Then the results of these two are adjusted to one another. Work on each project involves both technological and economic investigations. The technologist is concerned with the methods of production, with costings, and with blueprints; the economists with the choice among different methods, with potential markets with the assessment of indirect benefits and interrelationships, and with the appropriate scale and location of output.
