In history long periods of slow, gradual evolution, i. e. accumulation of knowledge and wealth were intermittent by comparatively short period of rapid, dramatic revolution of economic development. It seems that in the last century science and technology made it possible that the development has become faster in the evolution periods and the revolution have become more frequent. However, the time dimension of economic development did not affect the various regions of the world uniformly. The development that had been fast in England in the 18th and 19th century, slowed down later. In the beginning of our century, the tempo became very fast in the United States, followed later by Germany, Italy and Japan. The third world still lags behind. There is an astonishing gap between the economic performance e of the developed countries and of the African countries. The gap is so great that evolution cannot close it. A revolutionary upsurge is needed in economic development. This document is very important in that it laid down the principal the economic development strategies can only be conceived in long perspectives. Another invaluable contribution of this document is that it already outlined a certain development strategy that promises to help Africa reach the target of a satisfactorily fast growth rate.
