In Nehru’s day, the best way to accomplish that was by building up structures of public ownership and state control of resources, as well as by boosting economic capacity through government intervention. Of course, Nehru’s economic vision had its flaws, giving rise, for example, to the so-called “license-permit-quota Raj,” under which government control stifled entrepreneurial activity, which in turn held growth rates below those of India’s Southeast Asian neighbors.
在尼赫鲁时代，实现这一目标的最佳办法是建立公共所有权和国家控制资源，同时通过政府干预提振经济能力。当然，尼赫鲁的经济愿景尤其漏洞，比如，这催生了所谓的“执照许可配额统治”（license-permit-quota Raj），政府控制扼杀了企业家活动，反过来导致印度增长不及南亚邻国。
