Описание: Roots of Brazils Relative Economic Backwardness explains Brazils development level in light of modern theories regarding economic growth and international economics. It focuses on both the proximate and fundamental causes of Brazils slow development, turning currently dominant hypotheses upside down.

It is an important resource in the ongoing debate on the causes of Latin American underdeveloped economies.
