In 1890, Argentina was a wealthy nation on the brink of
industrialization. "Industrial Development in a Frontier Economy"
examines Argentina's failure over the next forty years to develop
an efficient manufacturing sector, even as countries in similar
circumstances--Meiji Japan, Brazil, and Mexico--successfully
modernized their economies. Yovanna Pineda conducts a pioneering
microanalysis of 59 domestic corporations, spanning ten
manufacturing sectors, to show that Argentina's macroeconomic
conditions led domestic manufacturers to concentrate on survival at
the expense of innovation and growth. Her analysis reveals that the
resulting risk-averse, monopolistic business practices, more than
any collective action or governmental policy, forestalled the
country's industrialization.
