Everyone who has heard of Harrod-Domar realises that growth targets imply something about savings rates. But growth targets also imply something about the availability of capital goods. The business of economic planning, as y--Winston points out [1], is to ensure compatibility between the Harrod-Domar and the Mahalanobis constraints.

To avoid this unhappy predicament, Winston outlines three remedial policies.
