Poles apart: a long-term perspective on inequality, industrialization and labour market institutions in Brazil and Sweden
Research project
Short description
This collaboration between a group of Brazilian and Swedish economic historians aims to further our understanding of why the two countries set out on different pathways with regard to income distribution and long-term economic growth. The comparative approach the project applies promises to cast fresh light on why Brazil became unequal and lagged behind the developed countries during much of the twentieth century.
