In this book, Tom Kemp offers a series of case-studies charting the progress and assessing the achievement of six industrializing countries outside the Western world: Japan, the Soviet Union, India, China, Brazil, and Nigeria. They cover the whole range of economic approaches, from those depending wholly on market forces to those that are completely planned. The range of political experience and ideological outlook is no less wide. These studies are framed by an introductory discussion of industrialization past and present and a concluding survey of industrialization and the 'developing' world.
