Economic Development Quotes

“Not all influences of colonialism were necessarily bad. Along with enslavement, subjugation, exploitation, loss of cultural heritage, and repression, colonists also brought modern scientific methods in fields such as medicine and agriculture. Note that this can be no apologia for colonialism, because these advances could have been gained without the societies' becoming colonised, as in Japan.”
― Michael P. Todaro, Economic Development

“...the key to successful development performance is achieving a careful balance among what government can successfully accomplish, what the private market system can do, and what both can best do when working together.”
― Toby N. Carlson, Economic Development
