Abstract: Abstract In the history of human ideas, the notion that richer countries should attempt to assist the poorer ones is a relatively new one. It began to be articulated at the end of the Second World War and the subsequent end of colonialism in most of the world. It was felt that the transfer of technology had a very important role to play in the help that could be provided by the highly-industrialised countries to those that were less-industrialised. During the early years of technology transfer, it was thought that the poorer countries could just take over the technology that had been developed primarily in Europe and North America, and use this short-cut to catch up rapidly with the latter. Even though this did turn out to be possible in some cases, the process of technology transfers between different societies and cultures has turned out to be anything but simple.
