Industrial policy / André Blais, research coordinator.: Z1-1983/1-41-44E-PDF

"This volume consists of ten papers. The first, by Andre Blais, presents an overall view of the industrial policy in the advanced capitalist democracies. It proposes a definition of industrial policy, defines the main tendencies and orientations of government intervention, and analyzes the causes of these tendencies and orientations. The second, also by Blais, deals with the debate on industrial policy in Canada. As in the United States and Europe, industrial policy is a part of the political agenda in Canada, and it is therefore important to examine the terms of debate. This article identifies the main options defended as well as the arguments used to support them. It shows in particular how the dominant values of society influence the structure and evolution of debate."--Preface.
