Although banks and other such institutions are included in much                 theoretical writing within the social sciences actual research on               this topic is minimal.  And yet banks are important centers of                  wealth, with considerable impact on the economic development of a               country.                                                                                                                                                        The proposed research directly addresses the role of banks in                   Brazil, a country burdened by the crisis of debt and the problem                of capital accumulation.  Using data from variety of sources --                 including archives, surveys, and case studies -- the project will               examine the organization of financial institutions within Brazil,               how they evolved over time and the implications of various                      organizational structures for economic development within the                   state.                                                                                                                                                          This research will provide a fuller understanding of the                        relations between economic and social forces by shedding light on               a little understood institution: banks.  Moreover, it will                      illuminate these connections within the context of a Third-World                Latin America setting in which financial settings have taken on                 critical importance.
