Examines state policy in relation to the agricultural and industrial sectors in Trinidad and Tobago, and shows how informal and formal processes are interwined. Suggests that they can be separated only for purposes of analysis. Highlights the need to reconceptualize formal and informal as interconnected, fluid tendencies in the relations of the people and the state in the context of capitalist development. 11/13/07 JOYD A 55413 55413
