Industry and Enterprise: An International Survey of Modernization and Development

The latter part of the twentieth century was a period of radical global political-economic changes. Numerous non-Western countries industrialized and transitioned from statist-collectivism to modern market-capitalism and democracy. However, others stagnated or even regressed in economic developmental and other respects. This book provides a concise, comprehensive account of industrial-economic modernization and development in a wide range of present-day countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin American and the Caribbean.
