Abstract
In the present paper, I have carried out an investigation into the form of models which would be suitable for economy-wide planning. Optimal growth models have usually been constructed in an abstract framework. Therefore, the economies for which optimal growth models would be suitable are not identified. I have shown that, because these models only embody purely physical constraints, they will, in general, only be suitable for totally controlled economies. The conclusion, establishing the general inapplicability of optimal growth models to non-controlled economies, is dependent on the view of economic planning which regards the economic structure, particularly the scope of government policy, as fixed prior to plan construction.
