The idea later evolved <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">during World War I, first in Germany and then in Britain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Capitalist countries then adopted this approach, but considered it a temporary tool to help transition their national economies from peacetime to wartime.

He said: \u201cPlanning is a process that can organize all areas of development <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">economic and social, and requires coordination and integration across the various sectors of the national economy. This calls for a broad, comprehensive study; <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">to ensure that society grows in a steady, coordinated manner, at the fastest pace possible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">Although views differ on how to define economic planning, largely because each takes a different perspective on <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">it, the core idea and defining nature of this type of planning is to take the national economy\u2019s resources into account when setting goals <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">and specific economic plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; color: #00ccff;\">How Can Economic Planning Succeed?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\">This question can be reframed as follows: How does planning succeed in general?
