Description
By Michael Barratt Brown and Ken Coates
“The implication of such a demand for economic planning is not that a few civil servants in London or in the regional centres should indicate the lines along which economic growth might take place and leave it to the giant corporations to choose the paths which were most profitable to them. Nor even that governments should try to lay down the paths that their planners indicated after consultation with the corporations. It was rather that an all-embracing national discussion should be stimulated, based upon the widest possible involvement of local groups in their own plans, so that the local actions of single issue groups and of workers encroaching upon the control of capital could be linked with a much wider political movement.”
