Notes

1. See Alexander Gerschenkron, Economic Backwardness in Historical Perspective (Cambridge, Mass.: Belknap, 1962).

2. I am not undertaking a critique of functionalist arguments per se. For a more detailed critique of large-scale or Gerschenkronian interpretations of development, see Michael Piore and Charles F. Sabel, The Second Industrial Divide (New York: Basic Books, 1984). The tri-pé refers to joint ventures owned by Brazilian state enterprises, large local firms, and multinational corporations. See Peter Evans, Dependent Development: The Alliance of Multinational, State, and Local Capital in Brazil (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1979).

3. See Samuel Huntington, Political Order in Changing Societies (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press, 1968).

4. The proposed reforms consisted of a constitutional amendment permitting expropriation, compensation with public bonds without full correction for inflation, and protection from expropriation of productive lands.
