Infrastructure, not money, fosters development of nations
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
A speech by Lyndon LaRouche to a private seminar. “If we think about space exploration as the frontier of infrastructure, then we look back at Earth, we have a better understanding of how infrastructure works on Earth,” LaRouche states. “So, let us think of ourselves as visitors from space colonizing Earth.

And then we have the right thinking.”
