The passage discusses the contrasting experiences of Brazil and Australia in terms of economic growth and the impact on social issues such as hunger and trade policies. In Brazil, rapid economic growth from 1940 to 1980 was accompanied by increased malnutrition, particularly in the Northeast, due to military rule. Nancy Scheper-Hughes's ethnography highlights the tragic situation of mothers forced to make difficult choices between their newborn children. In Australia, the 1980s economic restructuring involved a reduction in tariffs, shifting the focus from import-competing manufacturing to a more balanced economy. The book "Australia’s Trade Policies" edited by Richard Pomfret provides an overview of Australia's trade policies, including their historical development and economic impacts. The chapter by Jonathan Pincus on the history of Australian trade policies is particularly noteworthy, detailing the evolution of protectionist policies and their consequences for economic growth and income distribution. The passage also mentions a book by Harold D. Woodman, "New South–New Law," which explores the legal foundations of credit and labor relations in the post-Civil War South, focusing on the crop lien system and its impact on agricultural development and labor relations.The passage discusses the contrasting experiences of Brazil and Australia in terms of economic growth and the impact on social issues such as hunger and trade policies.
