Description

Controversies about History, Development and Revolution in Brazil is a critical exploration of the history of Brazilian economic thought in light of the country's own historical and political development. Editors Maria Malta, Jaime Len, Carla Curty and Bruno Borja present an analytical interpretation of the facts, which reveals the power of debates constructing a genuinely Brazilian contribution to world economic thought on development, democracy, history, dependency, and revolution.

Resulting from 10 years of collective research, this book incorporates a new methodological proposal stemming from the strength and resilience of public research financed by the Brazilian people in quest of their own formative interpretation.

Contributors are: Bruno Borja, Carla Curty, Filipe Leite, Jaime Len, Maria Malta, Larissa Mazolli, Alfredo Saad-Filho, and Wilson Vieira.
