Abstract: Abstract Puerto Rico’s economy was transformed from the agricultural base to a manufacturing base by strategy plan known as Operation Bootstrap or in Spanish “Manos a la Obra”. The Industrial Incentives Act applicable to Puerto Rico helped to establish businesses through tax exemptions on income and property for a period of 10 years, marking the era of industrialization.
