DESCRIPTION:A Third Path delves into the pivotal yet understudied corporat
 ist experiments of Brazil and Portugal during the 1930s. In the aftermath 
 of the Great Depression\, these nations sought a "third path" between lais
 sez-faire capitalism and communism\, expanding government powers to regula
 te labour and production by integrating economic and social groups into th
 e state. Teixeira examines how the dictatorships of Getúlio Vargas in Bra
 zil and António de Oliveira Salazar in the Portuguese Empire dismantled l
 iberal democratic institutions\, defending their authoritarian tactics as 
 necessary for economic recovery and social peace. By tracing the movement 
 of people and ideas across the South Atlantic\, she vividly illustrates ho
 w these often-overlooked countries became major centres for policy experim
 entation. Despite being frequently dismissed as failures\, Teixeira argues
  that the corporatist ideas and institutions tested in the 1930s and 1940s
  laid the groundwork for modern economic planning. This book offers new in
 sights into how these early experiments continue to shape how governments 
 regulate labour and market relations today.
