Book review of The Political Economy of Backwardness: State Fragmentation, the Real Plan, and Brazilian Industrialization, Torres/RS, Mottironi Editore, Urutau, published in 2025. Carlos Paiva is an economist, holds a PhD in Economics from Unicamp, and is Director of the consulting firm Paradoxo. Paiva’s work offers an important structural analysis of Brazil, exposing the fragmentation of the state, the negative consequences of the Real Plan, and the country’s deep deindustrialization. It constitutes a significant contribution for those interested in understanding the trajectory of—and the possibilities for reversing—the performance of the Brazilian economy.
