no place in our plans. What we must envisage is a program of development based on
the concepts of democratic far dealing. (Inaugural address, January 20th, 1949).
Economists advice on how to achieve these objectives had three main prongs5:
- that industrialisation was an essential element in the process of catching-up developed
countries;
- that surplus labour in agriculture provided a major potential resource;
- and that government intervention of various kinds was needed to tap this potential and
promote industrialisation, including, support for investment and protection against industrial
imports.
5 The Lewis model of development incorporated two of these key ideas - the latent
potential of surplus labour and the key role of industrialisation in development.
