Abstract
Though little explored from an historical and theoretical standpoint, a very interesting field of study concerns the main interdependencies that emerged during the growth stages of industrialised nations. These include:
-
a)
Technological innovation;
-
b)
The alternation of industries and “dominating” industrial materials during different development stages;
-
c)
The consumption trends and life cycles of the main materials;
-
d)
The external constraints such as scarcities or environmental limitations.
