Abstract

From the 1950s until the end of the 1970s, the state played an active role instructuring and consolidating the industrial sector in Brazil. However, the high degree andpermanent nature of protection for the domestic market, together with insufficient scientificand technological development, produced a largely inefficient, technologically backwardand internationally uncompetitive industry. It was able to sell abroad because the system ofpromotion for exports of manufactures offset the anti-export bias of the protection system.These problems were aggravated in the 1980s, when the state not only stopped orientingindustrial development but actually began retarding it. JEL Classification: L52; H11.
