The Industrialists are one of the political factions in Tropico 6. Foreign powers reducing their exports to the rest of the world due to the World Wars made countries like Tropico adopt Import Substitution Industrialization policies, this resulted in new powerful Captains of Industry who managed to gain political influence and establish themselves as a faction by the time the Cold War started.
They are passionate about turning Tropico into a powerful economic player. Growth is their aim and exploitation is their means. They even see war as nothing more than another chance to increase sales.
