Planners

...it is worth inquiring why so large a proportion of the technical experts should be found in the front rank of planners. The explanation of this phenomenon is closely connected with an important fact which the critics of the planners should always keep in mind: that there is little question that almost every one of the technical ideals of our experts could be realized within a comparatively short time if to achieve them were made the sole aim of humanity.

F.A. Hayek (1944, Road to Serfdom)
