This paper attempts to demonstrate the concept of Industrialization by Invitation and its social impact on the Caribbean. The concept of industrialization is considered as the process of social and economic changes through which a society transforms from an agricultural society to a more capital-intensive economy, based on manufacturing, skilled labor and industrial factories, where the economy earns much more capital. After the Second World War, Sir Arthur Lewis, a Saint Lucia economist, Nobel Prize winner (1915 – 1991), recognized the need for the Caribbean not to depend only on agriculture because the level of agricultural productivity in the Caribbean was very Bass. To achieve significant growth in economic sustainability during the 1950s and 1960s, Lewis suggested that Caribbean political economies adopt the capitalist economic model of industrialization by invitation. However, the Caribbean was not able to do this alone, as stated by Thomas (1998), Benn & Manley (2004), who stated that “these economies were labeled as weak and dependent and controlled by foreign states and stronger institutions”. .” Therefore the Caribbean should seek financial aid in the form of investments that would stimulate the industrialization process. Lewis, who was the intellectual genius behind the theoretical construct of industrialization by invitation, premised that this model would achieve the simultaneous development of the agricultural and industrial sectors. . Industry would absorb surplus labor from agriculture, thus boosting productivity and improving living standards, based on the assumption that there would be an increase in demand for manufactured products even if outside the investigation......half of paper.. .... and development alternatives in the Caribbean.
