Abstract: Abstract Once basic infrastructures have been created in a developing country, the first thing to encourage in the resulting more favourable economic climate should be an increase in the production of goods to meet the elementary human needs for food, clothes and dwellings. Before anything else, the living conditions of the people must be improved and, barring exceptional cases, economic development should therefore begin with raising the production of foodstuffs, agricultural raw materials, clothing and housing, and should then lead up to producing industrial equipment requiring low capital investment.
