It is largely a matter of providing public goods: decent governance, security of life and property, and basic infrastructure like roads, bridges, ports, and power plants, as well as access to education and basic health care. Unlike many equally poor countries, India already has a strong entrepreneurial class, a reasonably large and well-educated middle class, and a number of world-class corporations that can be enlisted in the effort to provide these public goods.
新德里—向印度这样的穷国，用美国的话说，增长应该是“易如反掌”的。基本上，这事关公共品供给：良好的治理、生命和财产安全、公路、桥梁、港口和电站等基本基础设施，以及获得教育和基本医疗服务的权利。与其他同等水平穷国不同的是，印度已经拥有了强大的创业家阶层、规模大、教育程度高的中产阶级，以及一大批可以动员起来提供这些公共品的世界级公司。
