ABSTRACT

Every nation runs an individual course in the cross-country development race; each faces and must overcome a series of obstacles and difficulties, some of them being individual to its own course. It seems appropriate, therefore, to scrutinise certain aspects of industrial development in a few selected countries in order to demonstrate from actual examples the character of the problems to be faced, and the varying progress being made. Full treatment is impossible here: instead a variety of facets have been selected to exemplify aspects of the body of theory previously advanced with, finally, an examination in some detail of one country’s progress in industrialization.
