                          The idea of planning and a planned society is accepted now in varying degrees by
                      almost everyone. But planning by itself has little meaning and need not necessarily
                      lead to good results. Everything depends on the objectives of the plan and on the
                         controlling authority, as well as, of course, the government behind it.*
