In a corporatist society, the government vertically integrates economic and social groups into the state so that it can manage labour and economic production. In the 1930s, the dictatorships of Getúlio Vargas in Brazil and António de Oliveira Salazar in the Portuguese Empire seized upon corporatist ideas to jump-start state-led economic development. In \u003cem\u003eA Third Path\u003c\/em\u003e, Melissa Teixeira examines these pivotal but still understudied initiatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguished Portuguese and Brazilian corporatism from other countries' experiments with the mixed economy was how Vargas and Salazar dismantled liberal democratic institutions, celebrating their efforts to limit individual freedoms and property in pursuit of economic recovery and social peace. By tracing the movement of people and ideas across the South Atlantic, Teixeira vividly shows how two countries not often studied for their economic creativity became major centres for policy experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePortuguese and Brazilian officials created laws and agencies to control pricing and production, which in turn generated new social frictions and economic problems, as individuals and firms tried to evade the rules. And yet, Teixeira argues, despite the failings and frustrations of Brazil's and Portugal's corporatist experiments, the ideas and institutions tested in the 1930s and 1940s constituted a new legal and technical tool kit for the rise of economic planning, shaping how governments regulate labour and market relations to the present day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933871882476,"sku":"9780691258164","price":101.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691258164-a-third-path.jpg?v=1783881189"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/melissa-teixeira.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
