A Indústria do Rio de Janeiro Através de suas Sociedades Anônimas (Rio de Janeiro Industry through its Corporations) by Maria Bárbara Levy is an historical and economic study of Rio de Janeiro, in which Maria Bárbara Levy discusses the key controversial issues surrounding the interpretation of the industrialization process in Brazil, from the 19th Century to the 1940s.

Through a global lens, obscuring the regional, and using a new interpretative angle to examine corporations, the author leads us to visualize the interrelationship between studied sectors, which had previously only been studied in isolation in national historiography.
