Critics, who generally tend to be pro Free-market argue that the only economic planning that government should engage in is providing a framework for the economy to operate, such as sufficient [[infrastructure]] and the maintenance of [[law]] and [[order]]

==Marxist roots==
James Burnham, a former [[Trotskyite]], discovered in 1941 that the "workers revolution" which allegedy was to overthrow the capitalist "exploiters", was in real practice a "managerial revolution" which replaced older 19th century owners of capital with twentieth century technocrats and managers. Burnham found that "workers in this mythical 'workers' state' were, the facts showed, a subject class far more heavily exploited than the workers under capitalism," and that the new managers in a planned economy "have curbed the masses and have instituted a social structure in which they are on top, not by virtue of private property rights in the instruments of production, but through their monopoly control of a state power which has fused with the economy." <ref>''The Managerial Revolution'', James Burnham, Indiana University Press, Bloomingham 1966.</ref>
Prof. Carrol Quigley voiced the same sentiments as late as 1966 when he wrote in ''Tragedy and Hop'', "It is increasingly clear that in the 20th century, the expert will replace the industrial tycoon in control of the economic system even as he will replace the democratic voter in control of the political system. This is because planning will inevitably replace [[laissez-faire]] in the relationships between the two systems. <ref>''Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time'', Carroll Quigley, Collier-Macmillan, 1966, pgs. 735 - 741.
