Abstract EN:

The evolution and modernization of a society are closely linked to the degree of development of transport. As far as developing countries are concerned, one can say that the weaknesses of infrastructure hinder the good functioning of distribution circuits and the collection of agricultural products, which are the only way to bring stable money into the country. The improvement of the transport sector sometimes induces a huge debt which affects the abready defitary balance of payments and requires the training of a qualified staff. Actually, one would more speak of a subsized country which cannot get back into shape without help from other countries, rather than a "developing country" -that is, a country in the process of development. Yet, in that so-called pour country of madagascar, there is a wealthy social class consisting of nobles who govern and appoint people to take care of the different sectors of the economy, including the transport sector. That social class paradoxically draws many benefits from that state of crises. That "group" takes advantage of the national economy being in a stationary state and monopolized by the leading party. The latter guarantees civil peace though the control of the state apparatus. How can the bad shape of the transport sector affect the national economy? one can say that transport, considered as a product of society, is at the same time a tool for the initial accumulation of capital, a tool for political propaganda.
