Episode description
In the 1960s, Brazil’s military dictatorship set out to undermine the power of local political elites by creating local political competition. New research finds that in the regions where the elites were strongest, the policies led to better governance, and more long-run growth. Claudio Ferraz and Monica Martinez-Bravo explain how this happened to Tim Phillips. Photo: Roberto Rocco TU Delft.
