Economic theory of industrialization

The article proposes principles of industrial policy, basing on the analysis of the experience of its implementation in the Soviet period, and also introduces the aggregate criterion for a large-scale economic system restructuring, with application to the problem of industrialization of the economy. The types of strategies for changing structural proportions of the economic system are defined. The conditions for industrialization and deindustrialization are obtained for the originally resource-based and industrial system in the simplest aggregate form, and also depending on the structure of production while using old and new technologies, and can further be complicated by inputting constraints on the process and constraint management. The economic growth rate is determined for the economic system consisting of mining, processing and transaction sectors. The content of the principle of "2D" (deindustrialization and deskilling), as well as the principle of "2A" (adequacy and adaptability), necessary for implementation of the economic strategy, is exposed. In addition, a logical sequence for the development of an industrialization strategy is proposed, which will ensure implementation of the principle of "2A" in planning practice. The theoretical conditions of industrialization and nine industrialization strategies that arise for a resource-based economic system (industrialization is possible in a purely industrial economic system) actually form the framework for modern economic theory of industrialization, which, along with the theory of factors of production location, will form the intellectual basis for the study of the process of industrialization of economic systems and technological changes (general adaptability of the system).
