Florida Commerce

If it were a stand-alone nation, the Sunshine State would rank in the top-20 worldwide by economic output. Yet it is still smaller than New York, Texas, or California. The economic complexion here differs markedly from the rest of the nation. Miami serves as a Caribbean entrepot, while North Florida is part-and-parcel of the Deep South. One little known fact: Brazil is traditionally the state’s largest international trading partner, in part because of the outsized tourism sector.

Buying Disney's World
The Story of How Florida Swampland Became Walt Disney World
Aaron H. Goldberg

This book is far more than a historical treatise on Disney World. It is also a snapshot of the Central Florida economy in the 1960s. Visiting Orlando today, tourists may find it incomprehensible that the region was once better known for its orange groves and cow pastures. If you travel beyond the theme parks, deep into nearby Polk or Lake Counties, you can see glimpses of this distant era. In this setting, Walt Disney assembled the real-estate deal of the century.
