Developing world has been sold on two versions of leap frogging, both of which rob it of autonomy. Cultural leapfrogging, championed by your favorites NGOs and the urban bourgeoisie alike, and faux-"economic leapfrogging," "coincidentally" also a product of the same cohort of spiritual-lumpen. The latter is uniquely nefarious in that it promises the ability to sidestep structural transformation through unbridled digitization and gig-economy galore. Care not for industry, R&D, and an independent tech-stack; sip upon libations of debt-trapping, service-sector fetishisation, and complete populace datafication, instead. Forget machinery, what the Islamicate needs is one hundred more delivery apps. Meh...
As it stands, industrial leapfrogging is the only economic imperative pertinent to Islamdom. All else is, at best, misguided or, at worst, malevolent.
