“…Outra importante mudança em curso no período seria a chegada das primeiras empresas estrangeiras de seguros no país, uma tendência observável também em outros setores da economia brasileira, tanto em função da crescente renda exportadora nacional resultante do comércio cafeeiro, como também do maior interesse do capital estrangeiro pela periferia (Rippy, 1966;Stone, 1977;Guimarães, 2012). Para regular minimamente a participação das (5) Brasil (1850).…”

Resumo Esse artigo trata da atuação das companhias de seguros no Brasil entre os anos de 1889 e 1914. Buscamos apresentar quão ampla foi a inserção dessas firmas na economia brasileira de então; constata-se que, para além da concessão de seguros marítimos, terrestres e de vida, essas companhias tiveram ativa participação financeira, concedendo crédito e financiando o Estado brasileiro por meio da contínua compra de apólices da dívida pública federal. Buscou-se enfatizar a transição de uma dinâmica mercantil para outra financeira, comprovada para as companhias de seguros sobretudo a partir da década de 1890, e mostrar como a atividade seguradora no Brasil de então foi influenciada pelas novas condições do capitalismo global.

“…In Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina the length of the railroad network was 24.9, 25.5, and 33.2 thousand kilometers respectively (Мельянцев 1996 : 130). 2 According to the estimates by such scholars as Maddison, between 1870 and1914, the volume of foreign capital (in constant prices) invested in the Third World countries grew by 5.3-5.5 times and the investments were made mostly in infrastructure and the mining industries (Issawi 1981 ;Maddison 1989 ; see also Rippy 1959 ;Amsden 2004 ). Communication lines (like river and ocean shipping, telegraph etc.)…”

“…The only country that issued new debt while simultaneously in default on an old debt was Venezuela. However, this loan was floated with the express purpose of trying to regain Marichal (1989), Platt (1968), Rippy (1959). Note: Venezuela issued an additional 210,000 pounds of 6 per cent bonds in 1862 capitalizing the arrears on the interest accumulated to that date from the unsuccessful re-scheduling agreement of 1859.…”

Upon gaining independence, most Spanish American countries had accumulated a substantial external debt, and by 1829 each defaulted. It took decades for these countries to settle their debts and even longer for them to access new loans. We argue that a major factor influencing the pattern of debt service was the incidence of war. War created incentives for governments to channel scarce resources to «emergency» spending and domestic debt service, rather than to the repayment of the foreign debt. Interestingly, we detect an asymmetry between countries long in good standing with creditors and those that had only recently settled. Countries that had established a longer record of continuous debt service were far less likely to default in times of war. We also find that international wars were responsible for the largest effects.
