Problems and legislative opportunities in the basic materials industry
Abstract
To illustrate the problems confronting the basic materials industries in the United States, efforts undertaken by a number of other countries to improve the industrial competitiveness of their raw materials industries are compared and the impact of international technology transfer in these industries is assessed. The current situation of four U.S. basic industries is described, and such issues as management/market problems, governmental policies, and educational trends are addressed. Legislative opportunities to assist these industries by encouraging innovation and the successful commercialization of new products and processes are identified.
