America’s long post war boom was underpinned by the state, by Roosevelt’s New Deal, by its wartime economy, and by Roosevelt’s plans for investment in post war science and infrastructure. In the 1970s America abandoned its developmental model, as critics from left and right attacked plans and planners: yet in the fast rising states of Asia it was embraced. Is it too late for a wakeup call in America and Britain, the champions of anti-planning and the small state? This paper looks for explanations, examines consequences and suggests that the Covid pandemic may trigger a sea change in norms, values and attitudes towards planning and governance.

基本状态：大流行，规范和价值观以及新的威权主义

美国长期的战后繁荣是由国家，罗斯福的《新政》，战时经济以及罗斯福对战后科学和基础设施投资的计划所支撑的。在1970年代，由于左派和右派的批评家们抨击了计划和规划者，美国放弃了其发展模式：然而在迅速崛起的亚洲国家中，它被接受了。在反对计划和小国的拥护者美国和英国唤醒人们，为时已晚吗？本文寻求解释，研究后果，并建议Covid大流行可能引发规范，价值观和对计划与治理态度的巨变。
