  [ EN ] There are authors who assert that Imerina stood a chance of an industrial take off in the nineteenth century. Some even suggest that it actually experienced an economic development with the help of technology brought by the LMS missionaries. It is true that, from 1822, the artisan-missionaries had been very active. But, because of unfavorable conditions, they failed to initiate the slightest steps towards industrialization. Their influence could be felt in one field only ; that of refined handicraft. In the same way, what was produced by the iron and steel complex Jean Laborde meant to create at Mantsasoa, with the help of a great deal or forced labour, was rather akin to industrial archaeology. While the Anglo-Saxons flooded the markets of the Central Highlands with their cotton fabric, the LMS doctrinarians took refuge in a world of make-believe. They predicted a modernization of Imerina comparable to that of England in a foreseeable future. In so doing, they fostered a permanent confusion between culture, a field in which they achieved an undeniable success, and development, a goal which remains unattainable even today.

  [ MLA ] Araka ny filazan’ny mpandinika sasany dia tokony ho afaka nivoatra haingana dia haingana i Merina tamin’ny taonjato faha-19 ; nisy aza nihevitra fa toa nandroso mihitsy ny toe-kareny noho ny teknolojia nampianarin’ireo misioneran’ny LMS. Marina fa goavana tokoa ny asa vitan’ireo misionera mahay taozavatra nanomboka tamin’ny taona 1822. Kanefa be ny vato nisakana, ka nandamoaka hatrany am-panombohana ny fananganana indostria. Teo amin’ny sehatry ny fanaovan-taozavatra aingitraingitra ihany no nisongadina ny vokatry ny asan’ireo misionera. Etsy anilan’izany, ilay orinasa fanefena vy nokasain’i Jean Laborde hatsangana tany Mantasoa, tamin’ny alalan’ny asa fanompoana tsy eran’ny aina dia niendrika indostria efa nilaozan’ny toetr’andro avy hatrany. Efa tondraky ny lamba avy any Angletera sy Amerika ny tsena taty afovoan-tany, namono ny fanaovan-taozavatra teto an-toerana, mbola manonofy ihany ireo misioneran’ny LMS. Nambarany mantsy fa tsy ho ela dia lasa tany mandroso toa an’i Angletera i Merina. Afangarony hatrany ny ara-kolontsaina (sehatra izay nahombiazany tokoa) sy ny fandrosoana, tanjona mbola hotratrarina mandrakizao.
