 *  Brazil had already had import substitution, some light industry and was making limited consumer goods by 1960. Automobiles were first made in Brazil sometime in the 1960’s. There was a balance of payments and inflation problem. 1962-67 was stagnation, 1968-73 were good growth and debt became a problem in 1974-80. Inflation was 32.3% in 1981 and was 5,000 in 1993. Brazilians were poor because the economy lay in the hands of a rich few, not the poor masses.
