A collective portrait of Greek industrialists
Επιτομή
The discussion regarding the place of industry in Greek society, its dimensions and role in the development of the Greek economy in the last century and a half, frequently is dominated by the syndrome of comparison with the model of first comers?, which tends to downplay, if not deny, the realities of the country's industrialization "delayed, weak, distorted, dependent (however you care to put it), but in any case actual" and to assign responsibilities of an ethical nature to the country's entrepreneurs. This article seeks, in its first section, to summarize the most important problems defining the pace and nature of Greek industrialization and, in the second, to characterize the type of entrepreneurship which has developed in the industrial sector of its economy. © ESKA 2011.
