We have to walk on two legs. We have to create conditions in which manufacturing and services - the economy outside agriculture - move and move fast enough. And at the same time the working force that is available must have skills which will fit the kind of jobs which will be in demand.

Let me say that I think the economic history of the last 150 years clearly shows that if you want to industrialize a country in a short period, let us say 20 years, and you don't have a well-developed private sector, entrepreneurial class, then central planning is important.

Capitalism historically has been a very dynamic force, and behind that force is technical progress, innovation, new ideas, new products, new technologies, and new methods of managing teams.

I believe whether it is the United States or Europe, they will all end up as multicultural societies.

Nobody should be allowed to tinker with democracy. We will not discontinue the good works of the past government.

In a country where employment opportunities are not growing fast enough, the fear of change tends to be very acute.

We need multiculturalism, respect for diversity, tolerance, respect for diverse faiths.
