Depois do estruturalismo, os desafios enfrentados pelo desenvolvimento brasileiro

This work is divided in two major parts: firstly, there is a theorical study that emphasizes structuralism in Latin America, its crisis in the 80 s and a list of overlapping consensuses that deals with self-sustained economic development. The author draws, then, a development alternative. Secondly, the focus of this study is centered in Brazil. The main obstacle the Brazilian economy faces to recover development is the country s inconsistent income distribution. This scenario has been worsened during the 70 s. Since then all efforts to recover development have failed. How can we extinguish distributive disparity in an effective and consistent way?
