Description: The Economic and Social History of Brazil since 1889 This is the first complete economic and social history of Brazil in the modern period in any language. Francisco Vidal Luna (Author), Herbert S. Klein (Author) 9781107042506, Cambridge University Press Hardback, published 31 March 2014 454 pages 23.5 x 15.6 x 2.8 cm, 0.74 kg 'Beginning with the abolition of slavery, the authors guide the reader through the evolution of modern Brazil from the end of the empire to the present, using economic growth to explain social and political developments. The book's value is that trends and tendencies are carefully tracked to show contemporary Brazil as a logical continuation of social and economic developments of the past - not a series of different, often disconnected events as is occasionally suggested in books focused on politics and government. For the beginner, the book may be challenging because the political story is not its prominent feature. This volume is an important publication for faculty, students and readers interested in the deep changes that have occurred in more than a century of Brazil's history. Summing up: recommended.' M. L. Grover, Choice This is the first complete economic and social history of Brazil in the modern period in any language. It provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of the Brazilian society and economy from the end of the empire in 1889 to the present day. The authors elucidate the basic trends that have defined modern Brazilian society and economy. In this period Brazil moved from being a mostly rural traditional agriculture society with only light industry and low levels of human capital to a modern literate and industrial nation. It has also transformed itself into one of the world's most important agricultural exporters. How and why this occurred is explained in this important survey. Introduction 1.
