Summary
The historical experiences of the world economy shows that countries used different types of polices and strategies taking into account their own resources and contexts, but all have the ultimate objective of attaining industrial development. This industrial development requires structural transformation from agriculture to a more productive and complex economic activity such as industry. The linkage argument; if the industrial development directed to use local raw materials it can create strong linkages among different sectors of the economy. Saving argument; the profit margins in the industrial sector are higher than those in agriculture and this may lead to a higher level of saving. (Andualem 2015)
