ABSTRACT
This book is the result of a capital project, a production plan. More accurately it is the final product of a series of related intertemporal plans, and is the intermediate product of some higher level plans. This structure of plans encompasses both my own particular plans and the plans of others, like the publisher and the editors. As I write this, it is still too early to say whether the project is to be judged a success, by me or the other planners. But, whatever the final judgment, the planning process is illustrative of the ingredients of capital planning in general.
