R.D.R. on Social change and reform
k< mechanisation, differentiation, reliability, land>
Machinery will not help peasants - plays into hands of big landowners, and by increasing tenfold
production per man, disrupts social organisation. Draught horses would double production per
man. Agricultural machinery disastrous. {c: He is quite wrong}
Flowing water irrigation requires artificial fertiliser
Absence of industrialisation : - not lack of initiative or poverty;
(i) land will give a minimum 10% return on capital, which therefore draws capital
(ii) suspicion and lack of personal integrity and standards e.g. medicine, agriculture, business
enterprise. Bill on interns who can't be relied on to do a blood count.
