( Bringing the analysis of Brazil's economic performance ...)
Bringing the analysis of Brazil's economic performance up to date, Baer's classic text remains the only book in English to provide a thorough historical, statistical, and institutional description of the Brazilian economy. After touching on such issues as Brazil's exporting economy prior to the 1930s, the impact of external shocks, and the historical struggle to bring inflation under control, the book turns to contemporary issues. The changing nature of Brazil's international trading and investment links, the past role of state enterprises and the process of privatization, the agricultural sector, environmental issues, and the economics of the health delivery system are thoroughly examined. Offering a full statistical and institutional description of Brazil's economy, this book includes a review of the major controversies surrounding such issues as the high degree of concentration in the country's income distribution, the causes of inflation, the impact of various stabilization programs, and the influences of the state in the economy. Scholars, students, international institutions dealing with development, and corporate officers dealing with Latin America will welcome this up-to-date, definitive book on one of the world's largest economies.

Baer's text on the Brazilian economy has been revised and expanded to incorporate new scholarship and events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition. In addition to updating the historical chapters based on information gleaned from current research, Baer has added new discussions on the growth of the Brazilian debt crisis, the resurgence of inflation in the 1980s, the ill-fated Cruzado Plan, and changes in the industrial structure of the country. Suitable for courses in economic development and Latin American economic studies, "The Brazilian Economy" offers - in one volume - a complete picture of that country's current economic situation and its complex background.

(7th edition)
My major interest has been and still is the process of import-substitution industrialisation in Latin America. In my earlier work I concentrated on analysing import substitution policies, their justification based on the Prebisch-type of critique of traditional trade theory, their success in stimulating growth and their negative side-effects — penalising agriculture, increasing the concentration of income, worsening regional disequilibria, and contributing to inflationary pressures. In more recent years I have concentrated on studying the nature of post-import substitution economies — the role of state enterprises and banks.
The changing role of multinationals and domestic private firms. The successes and failures of indexing as a measure to cope with inflation. The use of tax and credit incentives to remedy resource misallocation resulting from import substitution.
And the role of the service sector in the development process. The latter studies have convinced me that economists have to adapt their theories to the behaviour pattern of institutions and individuals in newly industrialised countries.
