佐藤栄作 受賞論文集

all developing countries continue to adopt this model of development and spend smallamounts on social development.Further, governments of developing countries can hardly gain popular supportby promising education to a poverty stricken man as the magic potion for hismisfortunes. That man needs food now; a job now and education can come later. Thisis the narrow expediency and realist compulsion that has set the developing nationson its present path of retaining economic growth as the primary policy objective inmost countries: of course, couched in the erroneous belief that social development willone day follow.To make matters worse many Multi National Corporations 9pay the minimumheed to social issues in their pursuit of profit which certainly does cause heartburnand resentment amongst the deprived. NGOs have their own vested and narrowagenda sometimes for profit, publicity or to champion the cause of preservation ofthe customs and habits of some obscure tribe in opposition to a larger developmentalgoal. The question is whether these lifestyles and cultures need to be preserved?Should these tribes not metamorphose like the rest of human society and join themainstream of human civilisation discarding their historical baggage? They makegood picture post cards for the rich to souvenir: a column of tribal women balancingmany pots of water on their head, walking several miles into the sunset to collecttheir daily requirement of water when whole rivers cascade into the sea in fruitlessatrophy. How quaint and picturesque but how sad and wasteful. Is this the culture ofignorance and deprivation that is to be preserved?Matters are not helped either by the Bretton Woods Twins. The myriadeconomic problems of developing countries are not always solved by restructuringand free market economies. That the economic ills have a social backdrop is usually989 The total sales of General Electric and General Motors total more than $412 billion in 2000. 51 of the 100 largesteconomies of the world are Transnational corporations and 49 are countries. http://www.corpwatch.org
