Roads And Poverty

Atanu takes a road trip from Pune to Mumbai and has some thoughts to share. I loved this part:

He believed that because India was an underdeveloped economy that the roads were bad. He got the causality wrong. It is because the roads are bad (among other things) that India is a poor economy. That distinction is important. In fact, I think that being able to make that sort distinctions is one of the most important skills that our education system should impart, and which it consistently fails to do.
