Book excerpt: Leigh Payne shows that Brazilian industrial elites were more interested in political stability than in whether the regime inpower was authoritarian or democratic. Their concern with stability has led them to take seemingly contradictory positions: they strongly supported not only the military coup that toppled the old democratic order in favor of a repressive authoritarian regime but also the later transition to democracy.
