Order Against Progress: Government, Foreign Investment, and Railroads in Brazil, 1854-1913 - Social Science History
William R. Summerhill
This study presents a new and provocative picture of the impact of railroads on the Brazilian economy. How did foreign investment in infrastructure affect a relatively backward Latin American economy? The author engages this long-standing issue in Latin American history by applying the methods of the "new economic history" to the study of Brazilian railway development.
