How do you industrialise a shithole? What successful examples exist and how were they achieved? China (or India) doesn't count because of that massive population.

you build machines

USSR? if you're going to force industrialization to speed up the process it's not gonna go without casualties

Japan.

>successful examples
>USSR
Of all countries you pick THEM?

>goes from 80%peasants to nuclear armed superpower in 30 years
>not a good example of indusdrialization

Lol

Okay well to start you kinda need a fairly high and urbanized population, semi decent infrastructure, and not to give too many shits about human/workers rights

Then you just need to pay people fuck all encouraging the building of factories and shit and export like fuck. In the short term it will totally fuck over the people, see the ussr, south korea, china today, but in the long term as long as you maintain a trade surplus (internal or external) within a few decades your country will be fucking loaded

Asian tigers and european miracles enjoyed security, stability and foreign investment. This was followed by diversification and venturing more into the service sector and high tech manufacturing which is the result of a skilled educated workforce and economic liberalization. This triggered a positive feedback loop where profits are funneled into more investments which is crucial for large scale development, otherwise you end up with a small city with a few light industries funded mainly by foreign companies and government programs while 95% of the country is struggling to make progress as seems to be typical in developing countries.

Geography plays a role also. High paying jobs, like in the service sector and high tech, can often be located anywhere, London, New York and Tokyo historically had good access to trade and grain. Places like silicon valley and Seattle where tech has moved to are good examples. If they are like a fucking jungle in the middle of Africa or something they are going to experience a serious brain drain.

People often advise protectionism, however this unfortunately is a huge error, all protectionism does is improve access to domestic markets and domestic markets in a shithole are basically nothing. Shitholes need to accept they are shitholes and open up nice and wide so neocolonialists can jizz all over them.

That said, foreign investment and openness to the global market is good, however it can only ever amount to a kick start. Afterwards it is their turn and the white boi gets to be the submissive sissy and let the big black guy cream his boipuss, ie. allow the third world to take over manufacturing a bit so they can start a juice bar with daddy's money.

Ussr whent from pesant filled iliterate contry to a global nuclear and space exploring super power
And maybe Japan but that whent from feudal contry stuck in the past to a "global" industrialised power in a few decades

Literally every country started as a shithole

In the modern world you jackass.
I'm talking of shit like "how do you industrialise Guatemala" or Rwanda.

Find a natural resource and gather it. Turn a profit and mechanize the process.

>and kills dozens of millions of people in the process and is still a poor backwards shithole 100 years later
Try Japan you faggot.

Step 1: Terminate all europeans from the country.
Step 2: Replace them in europe.

But Japan had a relatively large population.

It was smaller than Russia.

>make taxes low and regulations few
>foreign corporations come in to take advantage of the free economy and build their factories in your nation
>after you've been successfully industrialized, nationalize the factories and increase taxes and regulations

Build liquor industries, get your literacy rate up, spam automobile and telephone factories once you get the rubber.

>not building tons of mechanical parts factories and then build factories based on local resources

>Building heavy industry at all
Ew

Nationalism- WW2 era for all newly founded Balkan countries.

I might have spelled his name wrong, but Yew's leadership of Singapore is a perfect model of how to industrialize a small country. Literally transformed his country from 3rd world to 1st world in a single generation.

Good job

Some dictator guy walks around with a stick until the factories work somewhat then steps down eventually

Sadly we can't do this anymore because America needs a pretext for war.
