Teodoro Moscoso Quotes


I would say as emphatically as I can that private enterprise—local and foreign—must respond if the Alliance [for Progress] is to succeed .... [it] must respond by building the factories, the marketing and the service companies which are the manifestations of mature, developed economies. If the private sector fails, then our own public aid programs will have little effect.
