"Development professionals do not know how to carry out an economic development programmed, either a big one or small one. No one knows how - not the US government, not the Rockefeller Foundation, not the international banks and agencies, not the missionaries. I don't know how. You don't know how. No one knows how.... The result: we do not know that we do not know how. We have no knowledge of our ignorance. (Paddock and Paddock, 1973, PP 299-300)
