The Growth of World Industry

John Jewkes

Chapter 11 in A Return to Free Market Economics?, 1978, pp 228-243 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The question I am raising to-night is as old as economic thinking. It is that of industry against agriculture, of town against country as the source of opulence. I do not pretend, of course, to be able to answer this question but it may be worth while traversing the ground again, for in matters which impinge, as this does, upon contemporary economic policy it is the function of the economist, as I understand it, to state the dilemmas even when, as is nearly always the case, he does not know the answers.
