The Political Construction of Brazil: Society, Economy, and State Since Independence

by Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira

Spanning the period from the country's independence in 1822 through early 2015, Luiz Carlos Bresser-Pereira assesses the trajectory of Brazil's political, social, and economic development. Bresser-Pereira draws on his decades of first-hand experience to shed light on the many paradoxes that have characterized Brazil's polity, its society, and the relations between the two across nearly two centuries.
