Chapter XIII: The Effects of Agricultural Nationalism
IN studying now the effects of agricultural nationalism as they have already become visible or as they are likely to be made manifest in the future, we are taking up another task of almost discouraging dimensions. So it is again all the more necessary to reduce the overwhelming material to a summary of the most important points, always keeping in mind the ultimate subject of the whole enquiry.
Chapter XIV: Possibilities of Alternative Policies
CONSTRUCTIVE PROGRAMMES FOR RESHAPING AGRICULTURE IN THE INDUSTRIAL COUNTRIES
WHOEVER comes to the conclusion that the policy of agricultural nationalism as practised to-day cannot be the last word in economic wisdom—nay, that a thorough revision of this policy is of strategic importance in any programme of international economic reconstruction—must now consider the problem of how such a revision could reasonably be made.
Part V: The Industrialization of Agrarian Countries
Chapter XV: General Interpretation
WHEREAS the effect of the policy of agricultural protectionism on international economic disintegration is indisputable, it is by no means clear whether the parallel development of the industrialization of “new countries,” as furthered by protective measures, is to be considered also as a disintegrating factor.
Chapter XVI: Types and Stages of Industrialization
ANY deeper analysis of the phenomenon in question must obviously start with an attempt to define more exactly and to describe more fully the process of industrialization. In doing so we cannot help being aware of the rather complex nature of what we call industrialization.
Chapter XVII: Changes in the Localization Factors of Industrial Production
BEFORE any balanced judgment can be made on the industrialization of new countries, it is obviously necessary to know how far this process corresponds to a change in the factors of international localization of industries which makes it economically rational to transfer some industrial activity from one point of the globe to another.
Chapter XVIII: The Driving Forces of Industrialization To-day
AFTER having mentioned the changes in rational localization, we now slightly vary the question by asking what, regardless of rational localization, are the real driving forces of industrialization to-day which foster a deliberate policy of industrialization. They may be arranged under the following headings:
Chapter XIX: The Effects of Industrialization
TO study the effects of industrialization is a task of the widest scope. It can be roughly divided into a study of the effects on the country itself and of those on the world at large, especially on the old industrial countries.
Part VI
Chapter XX: The Disturbances in the Monetary-Financial Mechanism of World Economy
THE monetary element cannot be separated from other aspects of the process of international economic disintegration, with which it is bound up both as cause and as effect. It has proved impossible, therefore, to eliminate this element during the different stages of the present enquiry; and thus it has been mentioned again and again whenever it was necessary to do so.
