The Industrial History of Brazil

Alex Hochulie: Brazil used to be a middling manufacturing power and that's actually kind of unique in land of Europe. Since the 90s, there have been these discrete decisions by policy makers to Sean industrial policy and manufacturing it instead promote those seem extractive sectors rather than just culture and energy but they did do that. The bulk of Brazil economy is focused on mining, agriculture oil, etc. And so this is the result of, you know, with an elite consensus of something called neoliberalism.
