Industrialization and Its Manifold Discontents: West, East and South

Hirschman, Albert
Abstract
In Eastern Europe complaints about recent industrialization patterns are about the neglect of consumer goods; in Latin America, criticism has focused on the failure of industry to advance toward production of more complex capital goods. These critiques are viewed against the background of earlier concerns about the rise of manufacturing in the West, particularly in England and France at the beginning of industrialization, and in Germany during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
