{"pk":3598,"title":"The Puerto Rican Industrial Policy Debate of 1940-1947: The Limits of Dependent Colonial Growth","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The rapid development of the Puerto Rican economy following the Second World War provides a unique model of central planning within a dependent colonial economy. This project will present a brief overview of the conflicting socio-economic and political forces which initiated and guided the establishment of central planning in Puerto Rico during the period 1940-47. The goal of this presentation is to trace the interactions between the key actors and institutions, in the political and socio-economic environment of 1940-47, which led to a policy re-orientation of central planning in 1 94 7. This re-orientation defined Puerto Rican economic development not as an autonomous agricultural and industrial program based on both domestic and foreign capital, but instead, economic development was viewed as a massive industrialization program based solely on private foreign capital.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8nf603h8","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Reinerio","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hernandez-Marquez","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2012-07-31T18:15:28+01:00","date_accepted":"2012-07-31T18:15:28+01:00","date_published":"1986-07-31T08:00:00+01:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/ucb_crp_bpj/article/3598/galley/2355/download/"}]}
