First published in 1982, this work offers an analysis Brazil's
long-term economic history and development, spanning the period
from independence to post-war industrial growth. The book focuses
upon the classic problem of why Brazil failed to develop
economically during the nineteenth century in a manner similar to
the United States and other regions of recent settlement. This
volume discusses in detail the principle features of Brazil's
economic landscape between 1822 and 1947, containing special
coverage of topics such as slavery and the elastic supply of low
cost labour from overseas; the inelastic supply of domestic output;
the critical importance of the domestic agricultural sector and the
lack of low-cost transportation; the reasons for the failure of
international trade to act as an engine for generalized economic
development; the special importance of economic infrastructure and
public finance for the onset of sustained economic growth and
structural change; and the central features of Brazilian
development and industrialisation in the first half of the
twentieth century.
First published in 1982, this work builds on the detailed economic
history of Brazil in its companion volume: "Economic Structure and
Change, 1822-1947," assessing and challenging the established
interpretations. The book covers in depth the causes of the
Northeast's poor economic experience and the emergence of
significant regional inequality in Brazil's development. In his
analysis of the role of Government in Brazil's economic
development, the author offers a fresh perspective on the
importance of public finance constraints and on the tensions
between centralisation and federalism. The study also deals with
broader analytical interests, affording opportunity to examine the
empirical relevance of long-term development models. In
encompassing both the period of slow economic growth through much
of the nineteenth century and the rapid economic development which
began at the end of the century, the study is able to focus upon
the conditions which led to the onset of sustained development in a
major underdeveloped country, suggesting lessons for contemporary
underdeveloped countries.
