Abstract

For many authors, the institutional changes that happened during the 1830s and 1840s in Brazil were responsible for an excessive centralization of the political power in the hands of the imperial government, harmful to provincial autonomy. This article presents some data of the economy of São Paulo between 1835 and 1850 to refute the hypothesis of failure and, thus, the dependence of the provinces towards the imperial government, showing that in São Paulo it was possible to maintain the provincial finances balanced and the agricultural economy constantly growing.
