Inclusive Capitalism
Inclusive capitalism is a model for development which focuses on stimulating both entrepreneurship (for example through microfinancing), and extensive usage of IT, as alternatives to foreign aid.
It is based on two premises:
1. private enterprise creates wealth and job opportunities and is a quicker route to a poor country’s economic development than aid
2. IT spreads throughout society at all levels, and is not concentrated in the hands of a few
Questions:
This would be ideal for India, but would financing be possible when the US VA network is included.
