That guy is a fossil and his ideas have been outdated for decades.

What city, borough, state or country operates without a plan?

Do you build a house without a plan, a neighborhood, a city, a country an emergency medical services system, a hospital, getting through daily life, raising a child?

Fail to plan, plan to fail.

We never had freedom for the masses until we had democracy. That was a plan.

and we must have ordered mechanisms

"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it may seem absurd that in complex conditions order, and adaptation to the unknown, can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions and that a division of authority will actually extend the possibility of overall order. Yet that decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account."
