I meant the sort of masterplans that are for people to follow.
And maybe, in some cases, democratic governments in countries where
there is no such thing as established institutions. 3rd world governments
have by now realized that it is wiser to privatize rather than to
perpetuate -- which again brings up plans for people to follow.

Right now any example will do.
Thank you for your worthy input!
