[.ca] The Brazilian Economy: Growth and Development 5th Edition (ISBN 0275966798)

Good historical account of Brazilian economy:
This book is very good at describing, in deep detail, the events that have shaped the Brazilian economy into what it is today. With a bias more towards history than economics, the book reads like storytelling sometimes, with less analysis than I had hoped for. The description of today's Brazilian economy is shorter than I had hoped for, but sufficient for a basic introduction. The book serves as reference as well for any historical fact affecting Brazil's economy, especially in the late 20th century.
