This famous quote from Archimedes of Syracuse describe plastically the principle of the lever in the physical system. As a German, you has it in your cultural gen to seek "the ideal way", the theoretical well-found-est approach, "the true".
And my question in the middle of my field of study, was: "Is there a similar "place to stand" in the socio-economic system?"
In lectures and research of
Hartmut Elsenhans, I found answers of the question: Why is the industrialisation take of in Europe? Why is the Process of Modernisation (aka Industrialisation) not easily copied from other continents? Why is Asia taking of, why not Africa (so late)? Why is it good not to mention "copy right" for a developing country (see the history of Germany and the history of the brand "made in germany")?
But he, No. Not in Evoke. You can't choose a Professor, stand-alone of his merits in development theory and practice and his reputations in countries like Algeria, Bangladesh and India. And by the way, it's unfair because I already follow him.
Here we need an approach who is more "American" or "Chinese" aka practical, or which works but nobody knows "on detail" why.
But whom?
