“In the early years of Independence, two contradictory tendencies
were already well advanced inside the Congress party. On the onehand, the national party executive endorsed socialist principles
of state ownership, regulation and control over key sectors of the
economy in order to improve productivity and at the same time curb
economic concentration. On the other hand, the national Congress
government pursued liberal economic policies and incentives to
private investment that was justified in terms of the sole criterion of
achieving maximum increase in production. “ — Francine Frankel
