This paper asks whether growth has been widely shares and, in particular, whether it has raised the absolute incomes of the poorest groups in Brazil. The review of evidence covers the period 1960 - 1977. New resources, in particular a national household budget survey and the 1976 household employment survey have made possible both a re-examination of previous sources and a clearer separation in the analysis of income trends before and during the fast growth period between 1968 and 1974.
