Abstract
Amado Luiz Cervo provides a historical overview of the origin of the Brazilian industrial model, a sort of “big picture” of the economic development process. The historical legacies since the arrival of the Portuguese king in the nineteenth century are analyzed and put into correlation. Cervo identifies the contradictions between the agricultural and the industrial development model that, for a long time, were in antagonistic positions and prevented the formation of an integrated economic model. Only recently it was possible for both sectors to coexist on equal terms, thus allowing Brazil to also take over a leading role in Latin American integration agreements.
