I think in the modern day it would be something like NABARD, right? How did development financing institutions intersect with what people call the license raj of the time?

So, so just to give you a context, you know, the emergence of development finance institutions is sort of central to how post-war development actually functioned.

If you look at the trajectory of institutions, DFI institutions globally, Japan Development Bank, Korea Development Bank, BNDES in the case of Brazil, India had its first development finance institution, which is called the IDBI, sorry, the IFCI, which was set up in 1948, Industrial Finance Corporation of India.

Then we had ICICI in 1955, and we had IDBI in 1964.

And so we have this trajectory of institutions emerging in India- Precisely because in this moment, what you are really trying to understand is that there is a market failure in, in industrial financing because there is no capital markets, and even if there are, there are very nascent capital markets.

The appetite for risk-taking across private businesses and the financing which would come out of that is very limited, right? And so, so DFIs become these de-risking vehicles where you sort of provide subsidized credit for industrial projects.

And the history of DFIs is actually Alexander Gerschenkron talks about credit banking in, in France and Germany in the 1870s.

And with AI coming for, seemingly coming for all our jobs, uh, nobody knows whether that's going to be the future like that we're looking for, right? How do you view this divergence, right, between two economists who have advocated for industrial policy very, very strongly? One continues to do so, but one has changed his stance on the role of manufacturing in the world as the creator of all wealth.
