Abstract

Abstract: The paper discusses how Celso Furtado's method and interpretation formed solid bases for his continuous analysis of the Brazilian and international economies throughout his nearly five decades of intellectual work. The structural historical method allowed Celso Furtado to observe the political and economic changes in the world, reviewing his own theses and indicating new dilemmas for society. When confronting Furtado's ideas with the most recently constructed economic policy in the country, we consider that his analysis proposal is still a powerful instrument to indicate ways to promote the desired social transformation project.
