Abstract	Spanish American political and economic development has historically diverged from the other Western geographic areas. The economic systems of these nations have been characterized as dependent, and their political systems have reflected instability, authoritarian rule, and fraudulent democracy. In Peru, industrial progress began in the late 19th century as a result of growth in the exportation of raw materials. Textile production became the leading domestic industry, and a financial infrastructure began to develop. However, by the early 1900s, autonomous industrial development ceased to increase because prices of domestic goods rose faster than prices of imported materials, and the politically powerful elite and national leaders did not support domestic industrial growth. This paper proposes that the state plays a crucial role in industrial development, not as a result of economic or social forces, but as a side-effect of political functions and roles. (JHP)
