Yup. Central planners believe that society can be likened to a car that they can just drive as they please and that the vehicle is just a passive chunk of metal that exist to be moved from A to some destination B that bureaucrats have decided in advance.

In reality a society is more akin to an archipelago of ecosystems with emergent properties, a collaboration of sovereign, free agents with individual liberties and private property rights.

More freedom = greater prosperity.
