This book compares the successes and failures of the development
and growth processes of Argentina and Brazil. It provides important
insights into the different performances of these economies through
a series of comparative essays written by Argentinian and Brazilian
economists. In the last 60 years Argentina and Brazil have both
undergone a dramatic process of urbanization and industrialization.
While there are similarities between the two, each country has
dealt with the side effects in a different manner. In this
insightful book, Argentinean and Brazilian economists expertly
analyze their country's experiences with processes of
industrialization, the performance of the agricultural and service
sectors, the impact of foreign investments, the distribution of
income, the roles of the state and the privatization experience,
and inflationary and stabilization experiences. The contrast of the
two emerging countries addressing these challenges will offer
students, economists and other social scientists significant new
insights into the economic development process. Many of the
articles will also appeal to individuals in multinational
corporations and banks that have to deal with emerging market
economies. Contributors include: H. Aguirre, E. Amann, D.G. Arce,

This groundbreaking work is the first volume in English to examine
Brazil's historic policy reforms of the 1990s and the political,
economic, and social results. For years the large and ineffective
government of Brazil could neither improve the country's greatly
uneven distribution of wealth nor maintain inflation at reasonable
levels. In the 1990s, long overdue changes bettered the
government's fiscal performance, tamed inflation, and addressed
chronic social ills stemming from the imbalance of wealth. But many
problems, and many questions, remain. Why is Brazil still so poor,
and why is inequality so intransigent? Were some of the reforms
counterproductive, or could they have been implemented in a more
effective way? Collecting essays by top Brazilianist scholars from
various disciplines and intellectual traditions, Reforming Brazil
provides new insights for international policy makers, economists,
and scholars of Brazil.
