In the vibrant decade of the 1950s to the captivating 1980s, Brazil embarked on an extraordinary journey of industrialization, establishing one of the most advanced networks among developing countries. Initially centered in the bustling state of São Paulo, this remarkable transformation spread its wings to other states, gradually diminishing São Paulo's relative significance in the country's industrial landscape. This captivating volume, enriched with social, economic, and demographic data, unveils the remarkable acceleration of industrialization within the state and its subsequent transition towards a service-oriented economy amidst escalating social and economic disparities.
The municipality of São Paulo, with its vibrant cultural institutions, esteemed universities, robust banking system, and thriving corporate sectors, emerged as a global metropolis, captivating the world with its vibrant spirit. Simultaneously, as the city's population soared from 2 million to an astonishing 12 million residents during this transformative period, São Paulo faced daunting challenges related to distribution, housing, and governance. This substantial volume, a treasure trove of information, sheds light on these trends and many more, serving as an invaluable resource for scholars of history, policy, and the economy in Latin America.
