Untitled[edit]

The study listed as a proof that inequality soared during ISI policies is in fact about the years 2000-10, so it has nothing to do with that claim. It should be removed — Preceding unsigned comment added by Walrus85 (talk • contribs) 14:36, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

One section of the article seemed irrelevant to me. This paragraph describing "mercantilist economy" under the section "History" seemed somewhat distracting and not completely relevant to the topic of discussion, import substitution industrialization.

Not all of the citations have links to the said sources. Some citations are not valid, for example, citation #11 is only a URL instead of a property cited source. However, the few citations which did indeed have links to the articles/journals/books/etc did in fact work.

NPOV violation?[edit]

This article essentially gives the neo-liberal/ neo-classical view of the topic, not a NPOV. It lacks sufficient representation of the views of other schools of economics that argue for important substitution. For example, the assumption that "growth" should be a primary goal of industrial policy is a neo-classical assumption, not a universally accepted view in economics. Notably absent in this article are the environmental economics arguments, that import substitution reduces unnecessary use of energy where products can be made locally for local needs, and that because the majority of global trade is powered by fossil fuels, import substitution helps to reduce the carbon emissions that exacerbate climate change. --Danylstrype (talk) 05:51, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I 100% agree. Most international development literature would argue that ISI was in fact a crucial element for states to build initial industrial/manufacturing capacity before some eventual stagnation that gets diagnosed as failure by the biased neoliberal viewpoint present in the article.

All of these sources are low-quality. One is a MA thesis. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 02:14, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
