Abstract: The superiority of industrial performance in East Asian countries, particularly inthe face of their counterparts in Latin America, had a strong impact on the debate about therelationship between state intervention and industrial performance. The structuralist paradigmwas quickly replaced by a new orthodoxy whose recipe for success is a minimalist stateand an open economy. This article seeks to show that, although the opening of the economyis a fundamental ingredient, its complement is not a minimalist state, but an interventionistone. Not the Latin American type, but one that restricts its actions to major market failures. JEL Classification: F63; L52; O43.
