NPOV violation?
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)

- 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.
