This article discusses Italian immigrants to Argentina, Brazil, and the United States during the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. While Italian immigrants to the United States were excluded from labor unions and from participating in the labor movement, Italian immigrants were essential in the development of the labor movement in Argentina and Brazil. The author examines the reasons for this discrepancy, and describes the social situations during the time period for all three countries.

This paper is a study of the behaviour of the aggregate savings coefficient in the course of Brazilian development. Brazil is especially useful for such a case-study. Unlike most less-developed countries, many of the economic and social changes and the policy measures which have been suggested on a priori grounds as conducive to raising marginal savings rates have in fact taken place.
