A. The survey planThis survey reveals the extent to which the coffee industry has been responsible for the modernization of the Brazilian economy. The investigation focused on accounts of Brazil's thriving coffee industry and the effects of the coffee industry on the economy. In order to get a detailed account of the impact of the coffee industry on the Brazilian economy, one must examine how coffee has shaped Brazil's commerce and infrastructure. It is important to be aware of the transition period from sugar as Brazil's main export to coffee. The history of coffee has been extensively investigated for signs of significant effects on the Brazilian economy. The Brazilian state of São Paulo was analyzed because São Paulo is commonly known throughout the world as the "Land of Coffee", as Bertita Harding puts it in her book The Southern Empire (83). The two sources chosen for this evaluation, A Visit to King Coffee by Stefan Zweig and A History of Brazil by E. Bradford Burns are evaluated for their origins, purposes, limitations, and values.B. Evidence SummaryThe transition from sugar to coffeeCoffee has taken over Brazil's once-thriving sugar industry. The efficiency and price of West Indian sweets in the 1860s drove Brazil out of the international market (Burns 151). It is also important to note that other countries have begun experimenting with sugar beets, a plant whose roots have a high concentration of sucrose. This reduced the value of sugar exported from Brazil. As E. Bradfurd Burns put it, the coffee industry repeated many old economic characteristics used in the sugar industry, such as having a single crop grown primarily for export and reliance on regard for foreign markets for prosperity (151)....... middle of paper ...... the world's cup of coffee.
