But from the 1980s, decentralization of industry spread to other states reducing São Paulo's relative importance in the country's industrial product. This volume draws on social, economic, and demographic data to document the accelerated industrialization of the state and its subsequent shift to a service economy amidst worsening social and economic inequality. Through its cultural institutions, universities, banking, and corporate sectors, the municipality of São Paulo would become a world metropolis. At the same time, given its rapid growth from 2 million to 12 million residents in this period, São Paulo dealt with problems of distribution, housing, and governance. This significant volume elucidates these and other trends during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and will be an invaluable reference for scholars of history, policy, and the economy in Latin America"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Industries -- Brazil -- São Paulo (State) -- History Service industries -- Brazil -- São Paulo (State) -- History Social change -- Brazil -- São Paulo (State) -- History HISTORY / Latin America / South America Economic history Industries Service industries Social change Social conditions SUBJECT São Paulo (Brazil : State) -- Economic conditions -- 20th century São Paulo (Brazil : State) -- Economic conditions -- 21st century São Paulo (Brazil : State) -- Social conditions -- 20th century São Paulo (Brazil : State) -- Social conditions -- 21st century Subject Brazil -- São Paulo (State) Genre/Form History Form Electronic book Author Klein, Herbert S., author LC no. 2021051938 ISBN 1503631842 9781503631847
