Description: "Uses career of Joaquim Murtinho - would-be entrepreneur, Mato Grosso politician, and government minister - to explore federal politics of the Old Republic. Finds a 'deliberate suppression of the boundary between public and private' to facilitate individual gain during this period. Murtinho's brief service as Ministro da Indústria, Viação e Obras Públicas,  for example, was devoted entirely to using government power to benefit special interests"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
