Richard and Crispin,
First, I would like to point out that while I am interested in your
tangent, I am not sure that future generations will take note, given the
title. ;-)
Second, many years ago at an Overseas Development Network Conference at
Stanford, one of the presenters proposed that an effective method for
development would be to start up a business, train workers, take the
brightest and most aggressive of them and fire them, or otherwise
encourage them to leave, so they will start up competing businesses, then
let your own business die away quietly and take your leave.
I never saw a study done. I suppose, other than the risk of bodily harm,
it might be a viable strategy, but how would you sell it to a donor?
