Economic planning [r]:

The process of preparing for key economic decisions to be made or influenced by central government. (C.f., Paulson Plan) Economic planning approaches contrast in degree and kind, from pure laissez-faire that foregoes any attempts by government to influence the economy to the fully government-run economy advocated by some models of socialism. Most national governments today seek to exercise some degree of influence over their national economies.
