Wealthy nation on brink of industrialization; failed to
develop efficient manufacturing sector over next forty
years; countries in similar circumstances successfully
modernized their economies;
microanalysis of 59 domestic corporations (in ten manufacturing
sectors); Argentina's macroeconomic conditions led domestic
manufacturers to concentrate on survival at expense of
innovation and growth; resulting risk-averse, monopolistic
business practices, forestalled the country's industrialization,
more than collective action or governmental policy.

population, 4) environmental sustainability. Central theme: 1)
new economic paradigm (global, inclusive, cooperative,
environmentally aware, science based) required to deal with
realities of crowded planet; 2) alternative is worldwide
economic collapse of unprecedented severity; 3) prosperity will
have to be sustained through more cooperative processes - public
policy, market forces to spread technology, address needs of
poor, husband threatened resources of water, air, energy, land,
biodiversity; 4) "soft issues" of environment, public health,
population will become hard issues of geopolitics; 5) new forms
of global politics will replace capital-city-dominated national
diplomacy, intrigue; 6) national governments will become much
weaker actors as scientific networks, socially responsible
investors, foundations become more powerful actors.
