Publisher's Note
In 1977 Brazil initiated the "market reserve policy" to protect and reserve its domestic market for its own computer manufacturing companies. The basic assumptions on which its plans rested were fatally flawed, however, and the experiment failed to a large degree. This work investigates to what extent the policy, so carefully fashioned, fell short of its target and left Brazil with expensive and poorly made products. The author also evaluated the important and influential role of Brazil's bureaucracy and military. Scholars of economic development, industrial organization, economic history, and technology should find this well-documented work valuable.

Industry Reviews
Investigates the failure of Brazil's 15-year policy to support the microcomputer industry by excluding imported computers. Explores the history of the market reserve policy and regulation during its entire period from 1976 to 1992, applies the New Institutional Economics paradigm to show how the institutional environment affected the conduct of firms, describes the market structure and firms' conduct, evaluates the industry's performance, and summarizes the lessons for other countries considering the same path.
