The future of industry in Brazil: Deindustrialization under debate

In 1985, the manufacturing industry accounted for 25% of Brazil's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Since then, it has been losing momentum and today accounts for less than 15% of the country's GDP. This is deindustrialization. But what is it? How can it be measured? Why is it apparently more intense in Brazil than in other countries? What can be done about it? *The Future of Industry in Brazil* brings together articles by distinguished contemporary Brazilian economists, aiming to debate fundamental questions for understanding the direction of the country's economy.
