How did Paul Bernard argue in favour of economic development of Vietnam? Explain.(CBSE 2015)

Paul Bernard argued for economic development in Vietnam:

1. He argued that the main purpose of making a colony was to get profits.

2. If there was economic development then people would buy more goods because their standard of living would increase.

3. As the markets would expand, French would make more profits from the increasing business.

Explanation: Most of the colonial economists were concerned only with extorting more profit and not in the improvement of the life of the people.
