Environmental Challenge in the Canning Industry: The Portuguese Case in the Early Twentieth Century

Maria Eugénia Mata

Historical Social Research (Section 'Cliometrics'), 2010, vol. 35, issue 4, 351-372

Abstract: Fish-canning industries are closely-linked to, and have an impact on environmental conditions, bringing great challenges to optimality. While entrepreneurship perspectives focus on the survival and profitability of firms, social utility perspectives focus on collective welfare and long-term sustainability. This paper illustrates the theoretical puzzle of the fish-canning industry in examining the historical experience of Portuguese public policies from the point of view of industrial economics and collective welfare.
