To be fair to the right, which I suppose one should be, they make a distinction between internal corporate planning and economy-wide planning. Corporations that make bad plans lose money and can go under, while those that made good plans will thrive; economies that make bad plans have to live with the consequences. Not that I subscribe to this, but it is what they'd say.
