Summary, etc. Industrialization holds an almost mystical fascination for much of the underdeveloped world. Iraq is no exception. There, the view is widespread that factories automatically, and painlessly. bring high living standards and freedom from colonial subservience. The failure of the Nuri-es-Said regime to promote modern industry was undoubtedly one of the reasons for the wide support given to the leaders of the Kassem revolution. In fact much had been done to lay the foundations for Iraq's industrial development. and carefully conceived plans for the country's rapid industrial growth were underway when impatience, frustration, and intolerance prevailed in the summer of 1958. This study traces the growth of industry in Iraq and attempts to assess the charge of those who hold that it was impeded under the hapless Hashemite regime.<br/><br/>The building of a dozen or even of a hundred industrial plants may be of little benefit to a country unless people can run then and markets can be found for their products. When the kingdoms of Iraq was carved from the boundaries of the defeated Turkish Empire it lacked the basis not only for modern industry but for national cohesion. The building up of the country's government administration and social overhead capital, and the modernization of its agriculture were therefore prerequisite to the growth of industry in Mesopotamia. These developments are examined in the following pages.<br/><br/>The observations upon which the study is based were made during a period of residence in Baghdad between 1953 and 1950 and a subsequent visit in 1957. Although industrial developments since the 1958 revolution are touched upon and the implication= for industrialization of the Land Reform Act of September, 1958 have been discussed, no attempt has been made to carry forward the story of Iraq's struggle to industrialize itself beyond 1958.
