Letter to the Editor---Operations Research and National Planning---A Dissent

Author

    (Economics Division, The Rand Corporation, Santa Monica, California)

Abstract

When Russell Ackoff made his eloquent plea at the Philadelphia meeting for operations researchers to help underdeveloped countries with their national economic planning, I felt compelled to register a qualified dissent. Now that his address has been published in Operations Research (August 1957, pp. 457--468), I should like to take advantage of a generous suggestion by the author that I present my dissenting point of view to members of the Society.
