Abstract
In terms of economic growth, the backwardness of backward regions is exhibited in the overall underdevelopment of industry, agriculture, transport and communications, commerce and the catering and service industries. Also in terms of economic growth, the end result of boosting the economy should be the comprehensive invigoration of all these sectors. This much is clear. What we need to address now are the intrinsic organic links which hold between the different sectors. Industrial growth cannot be divorced from the development of agriculture or transport and communications, neither can the growth of the infrastructure be separated from the expansion of manufacturing and production, and vice versa. In the transition from economic backwardness to economic invigoration, we need to select a ‘leading’ sector which, through its intrinsic organic links with other sectors, will direct the development of all other sectors and consequently activate the national economy overall. This is generally known as selecting the orientation of the economy.
