Description
This is a collection of papers on industrial policy - the role of governments in promoting industrial development - and the particular significance of technology development. Two essays deal with the general debate on industrial policy and the nature of technology development; two are critical appraisals of the World Bank's approach to the debate on governments and markets; four are case studies of policy making on aspects of industrialisation, three in Asia and one in Africa.
Reviews / Votes
'Lall's book is a breath of pragmatic fresh air in an important policy debate in which ideological preconceptions have too often got in the way of balanced analysis. In a language that all can understand, Lall offers students and policymakers a balanced and pragmatic assessment of the great variety of approaches to industrial and technological development that the Tigers have employed. His work provides a powerful antidote to the oversimplified bromides of the left and the right.' - G.K. Helleiner, Professor of Economics, University of TorontoMore details
