Mauá by Jorge Caldeira
A compact biography tracing the rise and fall of a 19th-century Brazilian entrepreneur who spearheaded industrialization and modern infrastructure: building railways, shipyards, banks and factories while promoting technological innovation and economic reform. The narrative follows his bold investments and political maneuvering within the imperial system, the conflicts and setbacks that undermined his fortunes, and the contested legacy he left as both a pioneering modernizer and a cautionary example of entrepreneurial risk in a volatile political economy.
