About this book

Focusing on a quantitative assessment of Brazil's economic performance 1976-2009, Aldo Musacchio and Sergio Lazzarini analyze the rise of new species of state capitalism in which governments interact with private investors either as majority or minority shareholders in publicly-traded corporations or as financial backers of purely private firms.

This excellent book is likely to shift the terms of the debate on new and growing forms of state intervention into capitalist economies. It opens broad new fields of research and analysis, and brings fresh insights and extensive data to bear on the topic. It is truly path-breaking.
-- Ben Ross Schneider, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

What should one make of the revival of state capitalism? …Reinventing State Capitalism…sheds fresh light on the question.
