A. The investigation planThis investigation reveals to what extent the coffee industry has been responsible for the modernization of the Brazilian economy. The investigation focused on reports of the thriving coffee industry in Brazil and the effects of the coffee industry on the economy. To get a detailed account of the coffee industry's effects on the Brazilian economy, it is necessary to examine accounts of how coffee has shaped Brazil's trade 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 thoroughly investigated to identify signs of important effects on the Brazilian economy. The Brazilian state of Sao Paulo was analyzed because Sao Paulo is commonly known throughout the world as the "Land of Coffee", as Bertita Harding writes 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. Summary of EvidenceThe transition from sugar to coffeeCoffee has taken over the once prosperous sugar industry in Brazil. The efficiency and price of sugar mills in the West Indian sugar mills in the 1860s distanced Brazil from the international market (Burns 151). Additionally, it is important to note that other countries have begun experimenting with sugar beet, a plant whose roots have a high concentration of sucrose. This reduced the value of sugar exported from Brazil. As E. Bradfurd Burns argued, the coffee industry repeated many old economic characteristics used in the sugar industry, such as having a single crop grown primarily for export and dependence on foreign markets for prosperity (151). in the center of the paper...coffee cup of the world."
