Juscelino Kubitschek was the brazilian president from 1955 until 1960, and while Vargas set up the base for the industrialization of Brazil, it was during JK government that the industrial boom took place, with the % of industry in the total GDP growing from 13,75% under Vargas to 18,34% during JK. One thing that causes a lot of controversy however was a policy of JK to "Import" broken foreign industries. If you are a american, you probably know the Willys–Overland Motors jeep Willys of WWII, and know that the WO Motors closed in 1963... except that that is not really true, JK brought the machinery to Brazil a few years before and while the factory closed in the USA, they continued producing outdated cars in Brazil like the Willys Aero:


The same is valid for TV companies, like the Telefunken, for technology companies and many other sectors. JK travelled to Europe during his government (the first Brazilian leader to do that since Dom Pedro II) and bought a lot of near-bankrupt foreign companies and paid for their machinery to be installed in Brazil. My question is: That process was something good? Something feasibly? Most of these companies crashed here too during the military dictatorship that began with the 1964 coup, and because of that many people consider it wasted capital. On the other hand it really impulsionated the brazilian GDP for a while, and some people claims that if was not for the coup these companies might have endured (We had a DEEP recession after the coup all the way until 1969). What are your views on this policy?
