The chapters cover trade between developed and developing countries overall and also policies of both groups of countries.;Lastly, Part four focuses on industrialization in primary export economies, examining the nature of the economic problems faced by these countries and investigating why and by what means they have chosen industrialization as a long-term solution to their difficulties.
