The newly developing nations of the world are in a state of revolt.
They have rejected the notion that poverty, squalor, and disease are
preordained. They are no longer disposed to entrust their economic and
political future to the free forces of the market, the will of God,
or the omnipotent judgment of colonial rulers. On the contrary, they
want high-speed modernization. These newly developing nations are
resentful of those who caution that economic growth in the presently
advanced Western Nations was a gradual process. They are interested not just in economic growth, but are hoping and planning for accelerated development. They think in terms of leaps rather than steps in building a modern social, political; and economic order.
