Abstract: this research article combines discourse from the perspective of historians, philosophers, economists and political scientists to begin to describe the role of the state of brazil in the industrialization of são paulo, brazil’s most industrialized city. The focus of this discussion is limited to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, more specifically between 1880 and 1945. Some of the intersections between the state and industrialization are investigated and discussed by looking at the agendas of different political regimes in brazil. The role of the state is discussed through the lens of policy efforts including trade regulations, immigrant labor and capital investment. A brief overview of the political structure is also discussed. Inconsistencies are found in policy approaches and political efforts may not have always had the intended economic impact during this period.
Keywords: Industrialization, Brazil, Early Twentieth Century, Political Ideology, Economic Growth.
