Businesspeople and politics in 1960's Brazil: the role of a think tank in building consensus
The research looks into how Brazilian businesspeople used a think tank to articulate and spread their ideas. They helped to topple the constitutional government and engage in a hegemonic struggle to establish the primacy of their view of capitalism and democracy.
