Infant Industry is a book category focused on how new or nascent sectors are identified, supported, and grown into competitive, self-sustaining industries. It includes works in economics, development, trade, and business strategy that explore why temporary protection or support might be justified, the tools used to build capabilities (such as tariffs, subsidies, standards, clusters, and state investment), and the role of learning-by-doing, scale, and innovation. The category spans historical and contemporary case studies—from early industrializing nations to East Asian success stories and today’s clean energy and semiconductor pushes—alongside critiques that flag risks like rent-seeking, inefficiency, and trade disputes. Aimed at policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, and scholars, these books offer evidence and practical lessons on when and how emerging industries can be nurtured to advance broader economic and social goals.
