The problem of how to reconcile the promotion of rapid industrialization in Third World countries with increasing pressures to protect domestic economic activities in industrial countries has become the great postwar dilemma. This article presents some examples of the complementary intra-industry production and trade that already exists between the United States and developing countries. Still, we propose that much more research needs to be done on the potential of a new trade system based on co-sharing in production, which can make the growing industrial exports of the Third World compatible with industrial growth in rich nations, at the same time that new questions are raised about the matter.
