Abstract
The authors review the current arguments that, up to World War I, Brazil was an essentially agricultural country, which imported most industrial goods; That industrialization was a subproduct of the closure of external markets effected by World Wars I and II; and that import-substitution industrialization was accelerated from 1950 onwards as a result of the failure of traditional exports. Evidence is presented to show that Brazil's industrial growth was largely a result of sudden increases of traditional exports or of policies promoting import-substitution. The basic problem for the country in the present and in the future is to design and to implement a self-sustained social-economic system to foster industrial development.
