Abstract
The social costs of Brazil's economic boom, as well as the instruments used for its achievement, are discussed in this article. The country's industrial sector is shown to have developed to the detriment of other sectors of the economy. Industrial growth was largely financed through wage compression and tax incentives. Therefore, the benefits generated by growth reverted to a large extent to the upper-income group and large enterprises, while costs were heavily imposed on the lower-income groups.
