In the 1950s-80s, Brazil built one of the most advanced industrial
networks among the "developing" countries, initially concentrated
in the state of Sao Paulo. But from the 1980s, decentralization of
industry spread to other states reducing Sao Paulo's relative
importance in the country's industrial product. This volume draws
on social, economic, and demographic data to document the
accelerated industrialization of the state and its subsequent shift
to a service economy amidst worsening social and economic
inequality. Through its cultural institutions, universities,
banking, and corporate sectors, the municipality of Sao Paulo would
become a world metropolis. At the same time, given its rapid growth
from 2 million to 12 million residents in this period, Sao Paulo
dealt with problems of distribution, housing, and governance. This
significant volume elucidates these and other trends during the
late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and will be an
invaluable reference for scholars of history, policy, and the
economy in Latin America.
