A categorization developed by the economist Robert Rowthorn is used to characte­rize each of these three paths based on the evolution of other key variables, such as the aggregate economic activity, productivity and the development of new dynamic economic sectors. The analysis suggests that the United States and the United Kingdom represent cases of what literature has called positive deindustrialization, in the US as a result of the very maturity of the economic development process and in the UK on the score of an economic re-specialization towards high-productivity tradable services. Argentina's path, on the other hand, illustrates an archetypal example of negative deindustrialization, where the downfall of manufacturing went along with a comprehensive worsening of key economic and social variables. Este trabajo realiza un análisis estilizado de las trayectorias de desindustrialización de los Estados Unidos, el Reino Unido y la Argentina. Asimismo, se utiliza una taxonomía propuesta por el economista Robert Rowthorn para caracterizar cada una de estas tres trayectorias en función de su articulación con la evolución de otras variables clave, tales como la actividad agregada, la productividad y el surgimiento de nuevos sectores dinámicos. El análisis sugiere que los Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido representan ejemplos de lo que la literatura ha de­nominado desindustrialización positiva, en el primer caso, producto de la propia ma­durez del pro­ceso de desarrollo económico y, en el segundo, como resultado de una re-especialización sectorial hacia servi­cios transables de alta productividad. En cambio, el recorrido de la Argentina ilustra un caso arquetípico de desindustrialización negativa, donde la involución del sector manufacturero fue paralela al deterioro integral de las principales variables económicas y sociales. application/pdf text/html https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2098 10.56503/H-Industria/n.28(15)pp.1-33 spa Centro de Estudios de Historia Económica Argentina y Latinoamericana (CEHEAL) https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2098/2806 https://ojs.economicas.uba.ar/H-ind/article/view/2098/2825 H-industria.
