The Leaders of India

In almost every country there is always a person who takes the initiative to make the country a better place to live. Who was and is the major players of India. This list may include political figures, religious figures, or captains of industry.

Cardwell's Law

Cardwell's law suggests that an technologically advanced, creative society cannot sustain this action for long. I would venture to say that one of the reasons that the Indian nation is on the forefront of this creativity swing. With over 1 billion people there is plenty of reason to think that the creativity upswing could be great. But as Joel Mokyr puts it, the technological creativity is mearly the engine for development. Other things, such as capital accumulation, skills, motivation, and a well functioning market are all important to make this creative development possible. Maybe the reason India has exploded in such a way is that it started to get the other important elements. The population could have had all of these creative ideas, but an engine without a car base goes no where. Only after the declaration of Indian freedom did the GDP of the nation increase ten fold. The previous 50 years, GDP only grew by 20 Million. This staggering difference, i propose, is the direct effect of the new capital accumulation, skills and a functioning market system. So does this technological advancement of India have a limited number of days? Or does this law no longer effect nations in this way?
