They argues that history can not be settled down into any single mold. Therefore, the developed countries’ emphasis upon market economy and privatization of state liabilities will not be as much effective as in their own countries. Developing countries have to evolve their own strategies of development. For example, finance and structural adjustment programmes are difficult to balance in a
