Pioneers in Development: Second Series
Abstract
Most doubtful, though, is Gruchy's unbridled faith in planning. The unpredictable
dynamics Gruchy finds in economic systems argue strongly against centralized planning,
as neo- Austrians suggest. At the practical level most relevant to institutionalism,
economic regula- tion has too frequently led to either chaos, rent seeking, or "capture"
by the regulated.
