Chapter Chapter 4 in Brazil - Emerging Forever?, 2022, pp 55-77 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract As the author shows, the specific features of conservative modernisation in Brazil were rooted in plantation slavery. This circumstance predetermined the elitist character of Brazilian modernisation, which was oriented towards encouraging prestigious consumption for privileged groups. A big part of the chapter is devoted to the period of import substitution industrialisation which is treated as continuation of conservative modernisation, with a set of compromises between the new rising urban classes and old oligarchy. In addition, the chapter demonstrates that such trends, such as the premature deindustrialisation and financialisation of the Brazilian economy, have their sources in the economic ‘miracle’ of 1967–1974, that took place under the aegis of the authoritarian regime of 1964–1985.
