The Cotton Textile Industry of Minas Gerais, Brazil 1 THE COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRY OF MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL: BEGINNINGS AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT, 1868-1906 by Maria Teresa Ribeiro de Oliveira Versiani Dissertation submitted to the University of London in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 1991 2 THE COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRY OF MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL: BEGINNINGS AND EARLY DEVELOPMENT, 1868-1906. ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates for the first time the beginnings and early development of a cotton textile industry in a non-export area within an economy specializing in the production of primary goods for the international market: the B ra zilia n state of Minas Gerais. The general explanations offered in the secondary literature for the early stages of Brazilian industrialization - based on the experience of industrialization in export areas - are shown to be inadequate in accounting for the beginnings of industry in a region where handicraft production of cloth was still a flourishing activity and where most of the population was engaged in production for the internal market and for home consumption. Among other things, the cotton te x t ile industry of Minas Gerais was protected from outside competition and did not require for its establishment and early development additional protection from tariffs on imports or from devaluation of the exchange rate. The investigation is centred on the period 1868 to 1906. A partnership formed in 1868 was the firs t successful attempt at establishing a cotton mill in Minas Gerais. From then until the mid 1890s investment flowed into the industrial production of cloth. By the mid nineties, however, the firs t signs that supply was increasing at a faster pace than demand manifested themselves in the market. Yet, as a result of decisions to invest taken in previous periods, new cotton mills entered the market. As no compensatory changes in demand took place, difficulties in relation to sales intensified. During the first years of the twentieth century, the general performance of the cotton textile industry of Minas Gerais, and especially that located in the central areas of the state around the new capital, Belo Horizonte, began to improve, revealing an increase in local demand. In 1905 and 1906, a fte r a long period of stagnation, new te x t ile companies were once more constituted. A public convention leading to the creation of an organization of t e x t ile entrepreneurs in December,1906, can be taken to demonstrate that the cotton textile industry of Minas Gerais was by then firmly established. On the eve of the First World War the cotton mills established in the period 1868- 1906 were responsible for most of the productive capacity of the cotton te x t ile industry in Minas Gerais. 4 LIST OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION................................................................................................... 13 1.1 General approaches adopted to the study of the emergence of i ndustry i n Brazi 1 .........................................13 1.2 Exports and early industrialization in Brazil: a brief review of the literature .......................................14 1.3 The Mineiro economy of the nineteenth century as a non-export economy ...........................................................18 1.4 Handicraft production of cotton textiles in Mi nas Gerai s ..................................................................................20 1.5 Scope and working hypotheses of the di ssertation ..................................................................................22 1.6 Organization, sources and limitations of the study ............................................................................................... 26 Notes to Introd ucti on .................................................................................... 28 CHAPTER 1 : THE BEGINNINGS OF A COTTON TEXTILE INDUSTRY IN MINAS GERAIS IN THE 1870s ...........................................................................30 Introducti on ......................................................................................................30 1.1 The evolution of Brazilian industry before the 1880s: a brief review of the literature .........................31 1.2 Unsuccessful attempts at establishing cotton m ills in Minas Gerais before the seventies and the legislation on joint stock companies .....................35 1.3 The emergence of a cotton textile industry in the seventies ..........................................................................41 1.3.1 The constitution of the partnership Mascarenhas & Irm&os in 1868 and the establishment of the Cedro cotton mi 11 ..............................................................41 1.3.2 Other cotton mills founded in the first half of the seventies: the Brumado and the Machado cotton m ills ..................................................................46 1.3.3 New associations of capital in the mid seventies for investment in the Mineiro production of cotton textiles ......................................................................... .48 1.4 Typical textile investment in Minas Gerais during the seventies: small, local and family undertakings concentrated in the Central zone ofMinasGerais ............................................................................. 52 1.5 The evolution of the cotton textile industry of Minas Gerais in the second half of the seventi es .........................................................................................56 1.6 Conclusions .................................................................................... 59 Notes to Chapter 1 ........................................................................................... 61 CHAPTER 2: INDUSTRIALIZATION OF MINEIRO COTTON TEXTILE PRODUCTION IN THE 1880s ................................................................................70 Introducti on ......................................................................................................70 2.1 The relevance of the 1880s in the emergence of industry in Brazil, a brief review of the 1 i te ra tu re .......................................................................................71 5 2.2 Expansion of the cotton t e x t ile industry of Minas Gerais in the early eighties: a spurt of investment or a moderate growth?

  • When the Periphery Became More Central: from Colonial Pact to Liberal Nationalism in Brazil and Mexico, 1800-1914 Steven Topik
    When the Periphery Became More Central: From Colonial Pact to Liberal Nationalism in Brazil and Mexico, 1800-1914 Steven Topik Introduction The Global Economic History Network has concentrated on examining the “Great Divergence” between Europe and Asia, but recognizes that the Americas also played a major role in the development of the world economy. Ken Pomeranz noted, as had Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Karl Marx before him, the role of the Americas in supplying the silver and gold that Europeans used to purchase Asian luxury goods.1 Smith wrote about the great importance of colonies2. Marx and Engels, writing almost a century later, noted: "The discovery of America, the rounding of the Cape, opened up fresh ground for the rising bourgeoisie. The East-Indian and Chinese markets, the colonisation of America [north and south] trade with the colonies, ... gave to commerce, to navigation, to industry, an impulse never before known. "3 Many students of the world economy date the beginning of the world economy from the European “discovery” or “encounter” of the “New World”) 4 1 Ken Pomeranz, The Great Divergence , Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000:264- 285) 2 Adam Smith in An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776, rpt. Regnery Publishing, Washington DC, 1998) noted (p. 643) “The colony of a civilized nation which takes possession, either of a waste country or of one so thinly inhabited, that the natives easily give place to the new settlers, advances more rapidly to wealth and greatness than any other human society.” The Americas by supplying silver and “by opening a new and inexhaustible market to all the commodities of Europe, it gave occasion to new divisions of labour and improvements of art….The productive power of labour was improved.” p.
