"Little money was invested in technology or infrastructure not related to exports."

Explanation: European powers concentrated investment on railways, ports, roads and telegraphs that served extraction and export of raw materials, plus mines and plantations. They invested little in broader industrialization, local manufacturing, education, or health that would have supported diversified economic development.
