Peace, Planning and Platitudes

Dr. Joshi, Chief  Executive of  Wal­chandnagar Industries Ltd., has written what could pass as an ethical base to the Janata blueprint of the sixth Five­-Year Plan. The reviewer chooses to so regard this work, for the treatment of the economic content in the planning pro­cess that the author seeks to address is rather flimsy. The language is weak; and the analysis is based on dated material. The author’s familiarity with the litera­ture, especially on the international plane, does not seem to go beyond the First Report to the Club of Rome, namely, The Limits to Growth.
