"The main purpose of this essay is to show that the Afro- Asian and Latin 

 American countries should not depend on the transfer of capital intensive 

 technolog.y from the rich countries. It is not possible for them to start or 

 expand industrialization programmes by simply borrowing the highly sophis- 

 ticated capital-intensive technology from developed countries."
