Sumario:The international economy is marked by major asymmetries in technological capabilities and power, both at the domestic and international levels —a point emphasized by the structuralist tradition. These asymmetries strongly affect economic outcomes and place major constraints on economic policy.

Some implications of these growth paths for the international and domestic political economy are discussed.
