Let's say you have $10, you can feed yourself for $10 or you can go hungry today and invest that $10 for $20 back tomorrow... tomorrow, you can feed yourself and invest the rest for more back the next day.
Your vision lacks forethought. Tomorrow you can feed many times more people with the yield from today's investment than you could today if you didn't invest.

You would probably call investing anything in studying Einstein's General theory of Relativity as a waste of money for Indians as well right? That serves to make accurate GPSs, which is an industry in itself, generating employment. Should India wait until feeding the last hungry before making ANY technological progress? Which part of world you are living in?
