Progress, But Who Is It For

Points out that coffee used to dominate the Brazilian economy, but the products of a growing industrial sector are just as important, if not more so. Discusses who benefits from progress in Brazil, showing that the production line worker at the Fiat plant outside Belo Horizonte can rarely afford a car and that plantation workers are the people who gain the least from the sugar cane being made into motor fuel.
