Permanências na longa duração questões e explicação das trajetórias comparadas de São Paulo e do Rio Grande do Sul

Assuming the evidence about the better level of the quality of life of the Rio Grande do Sul's population compared to São Paulo's, as a point of departure I review several of my positions about compared regional development of the gaúcha and paulista societies. At last I use two features of the theory of poverty - they treat of the effects of the original distribution of assets (land and human capital) among the population to lessen the concentrating effects of the capitalist economic growth - in order to rise explanatory hypotheses both for the differences of life quality between the populations of the two Brazilian states considered in the analysis, and for establishing the foundations of the different routes of the respectives regional societies as well as, and mostly, of the permanence of this difference over this whole century.Assuming the evidence about the better level of the quality of life of the Rio Grande do Sul's population compared to São Paulo's, as a point of departure I review several of my positions about compared regional development of the gaúcha and paulista societies.
