Description
A welder at an auto parts plant in Sao Paulo. During the 1950s and 1960s, Brazil undertook a large scale import substitution economic program, as it tried to replace imports with domestic production. Large amounts of foreign direct investment accelerated industrialization. The car industry, for example, helped the growth of the auto parts industry, which in turn created additional backward linkages as the Brazilian steel industry expanded and became more specialized.Um soldador numa fábrica de peças automobilísticas em São Paulo. Durante os anos de 1950 e 1960 o Brasil empreendeu um programa económico de grande escala na substituição de importações, pois tentou trocar as importações com a produção doméstica. Grandes somas de investimento estrangeiro direto acelerou a industrialização. A indústria automobilística, por exemplo, ajudou o crescimento da indústria de componentes automobilísticos, que, por sua vez, criou necessidades adicionais à medida que a indústria brasileira do aço se expandia e se tornava mais especializada.
