Summary: This book does more, however, than document one particular escape from one of the dilemmas that time and again face countries setting out on the path to development and modernization. It offers, if not a general theory of such escapes, at least a strong hint about their typical structure. The author, by scrutinizing the technologies of hydro and thermal power, as well as of generation and distribution, has come up with a variety of differential characteristics of those technologies that explain a great deal about the surprising breaking of the power bottleneck in Brazil, about the curious, prolonged coexistence of private and public power, and about the unexpected and striking success of Brazil's first state ventures in power generation.
