Aprašymas

From the 1950s-80s, Brazil built one of the most advanced industrial networks among the so-called "developing" countries—a process that was initially concentrated almost completely in the state of São Paulo. But from the 1980s on there began a process of decentralization of industry to other Brazilian states, reducing São 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.

In its cultural institutions, its universities, and the importance of its banking and corporate sectors, the municipality of São Paulo would become a world metropolis. At the same time, given its rapid growth from 2 million to 12 million residents in this period, São 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.
