Murray N. Rothbard on Planning - Dictionary of Arguments
Rothbard III 279 Planning/range of choice/economy/Rothbard: It should be evident that the establishment of money tremendously broadens the range of choice open to everybody. The range of alternative uses that can be satisfied by units of money is far wider than the number of uses to which individual goods can be put. [Man] is always engaged in allocating means to the most highly valued of his alternative ends, as ranked on his value scale. His actions in general, and his actions in exchange in particular, are always the result of certain expectations on his part, expectations of the most satisfactory course that he could follow. >Time/Rothbard, >Action/Rothbard. Ex ante he appraises his situation, present and prospective future, chooses among his valuations, tries to achieve the highest ones according to his “know-how,” and then chooses courses of action on the basis of these plans. Plans are his decisions concerning future action, based on his ranking of ends and on his assumed knowledge of how to attain the ends. Every individual, therefore, is constantly engaged in planning. It is erroneous, (…) to assert that a free market society is “unplanned”; on the contrary, each individual plans for himself. But does not “chaos” result from the fact that individual plans do not seem to be co-ordinated? On the contrary, the exchange system, in the first place, co-ordinates individual plans by benefiting both parties to every exchange. >Society/Rothbard, >Market/Rothbard, >Exchange/Rothbard, >Consumption/Rothbard, >Utility/Rothbard._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
