ABSTRACTRecent advances in historical national accounting have allowed for global comparisons of GDPper capitaacross space and time. Critics have argued that GDPper capitafails to capture adequately the multi-dimensional nature of welfare, and have developed alternative measures such as the human development index. Whilst recognising that these wider indicators provide an appropriate way of assessing levels of welfare, we argue that GDPper capitaremains a more appropriate measure for assessing development potential, focussing on production possibilities and the sustainability of consumption. Twentieth-century Africa and pre-industrial Europe are used to show how such data can guide reciprocal comparisons to provide insights into the process of development on both continents.

This chapter analyses the leather goods and leather wear conglomerate of Quisapincha, Province of Tunguragua (Ecuador), in order to establish its contribution to the socio-economic development of the territory and determine whether it can be considered an industrial district in the Marshallian-Becattinian sense, represented by Prato. The main results of the qualitative analysis show that the Quisapincha conglomerate is still in a state of embryonic development of the district model, where there is no industrial atmosphere that allows for collective efficiency. The formation of micro-networks among some of its companies, which could potentially generate a district effect as in the case of Prato, clashes with an almost absent panorama of subcontracting initiatives and adequate institutional support. The economic decline evidenced in recent years could be reversed by encouraging vertical and horizontal integration processes between companies with a potential coordinating agent (the Italian ‘Impannatore'), represented by the firm Curtiembre Quisapincha.

Pressures for change are inherent in leadership succession under any political system. In China, because of his longevity and close involvement in major strategic initiatives, Mao Zedong's passing was bound to intensify such pressures. When he died in September 1976, Mao had held supreme power, largely unchallenged, for four decades. Since 1949, China's economic development had been uniquely, if not consistently, influenced by his personal prejudices and idiosyncratic view of how best to realize the country's development potential.
