...benefits of growth do not reach all segments of a developing country's population, the fault usually lies more with the aid recipient than with the donor. Hyperinflated bureaucracies and corrupt officials in a poor state, for instance, claim a large share of their nation's output, while widespread illiteracy limits access to new jobs stimulated by the economic development. While foreign investors may bring capital-intensive, labor-saving equipment into a country where there is massive unemployment, they frequently do so to offset the high wages that governments and trade unions would otherwise force them...
...also fallacious to blame the poor countries' lack of self-sufficiency on waste and overconsumption by the rich. The First World may indeed consume a greater share of the planet's output than is warranted by its share of the population; but it produces a greatly disproportionate share of the world's manufactured goods, surplus commodities, inventions and technology...
...countries increase food production. Thus even outright food aid, like the 270.5 million metric tons given away since 1955 by the U.S., may have some negative impact if it allows governments to avoid the politically unpopular policies needed to boost agricultural output...
...Provide more aid aimed at increasing food output. Britain has already adopted a "rural strategy" for its overseas-aid program, and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has endorsed the establishment of an International Fund for Agricultural Development to research new techniques for cultivating land. The World Bank has currently earmarked $1 billion for projects to aid the rural poor. The First World could also underwrite the cost of bringing new lands under the plow. Huge areas of Africa are suitable for livestock ranching but cannot be developed until money is available to eliminate diseases that attack both cattle and herders...
...future growth and be able to consume the goods produced by its developing industries. The poor countries should provide the small landholders with low-cost credit and technical help; the farmers must also be allowed to charge enough for their crops to give them the material rewards for increased output. Labor-intensive manufacturing, using simple machinery-perhaps even the spinning wheel advocated by India's Mohandas Gandhi-should be located in rural areas to use productively the vast armies of underemployed...
