INTRODUCTION In a two-page advertisement in May 2012, the Itaú Bank summed up things as they now stand: “We are no longer the land of the future, we are the land of the present. We are in the limelight now.”1 Brazil’s foreign minister, Antonio Patriota, said much the same thing that same month when he stated: “For the first time in history, Brazil is an international power.” He continued by saying that Brazil is currently moving on the global political stage on an equal footing with stable nations like the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, and that it is justifiably being afforded a great deal of attention as a result. This feeling of “and now it’s our turn” is something that can scarcely be overestimated in its significance for politics and the collective consciousness of the country. It guides and legitimizes Brazilian politics – both at the domestic and international levels – and drives forward the development model, which is celebrated abroad as much as it is criticized by those affected as well as by critical observers. In the past 10 years, Brazil has undeniably gone through a remarkable process of transformation. According to government statistics, 28 million people have left absolute poverty – measured as an income of less than $40 per month – behind them. Independent research offer figures of 18 or 20 million. However, no matter the estimate, Brazil has managed to halve the number of the very poor and thus has reached the first Millennium Development Goal. What is more, almost 40 million inhabitants have risen to a “new middle class,” and the government has set the lowest threshold for family income at around $660 per month. The state has changed its role in the international finance system from that of debtor to creditor, the economy has been growing continuously for years, and unemployment figures are low. In addition, those who were formerly considered environmental sinners have also kept in line with the transformation trend: The process of rainforest deforestation – the largest individual factor responsible for Brazil’s CO2 emissions – has slowed considerably since the beginning of the decade. At the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in 2009, Brazil even announced that it intended to voluntarily reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 36–39 percent by the year 2020. Within just a few years, it seems as though the highly indebted feeble giant – An Analysis of the Brazilian Development Model entrenched in a vicious cycle of poverty and violence – has become a vigorous leviathan fostering claims to global leadership. The international community 1 “Não somos mais o país do futuro, somos o país do presente, a bola da vez,“ O Globo, May 15, Introduction Inside a Champion 2012, pp. 2–3. 7 likes to see Brazil as a socially oriented, economically successful state that is sensitive to environmental and climate-friendly issues – one that has even managed to get the endemic destruction of the Amazon rainforests under control – and as a great power on its way to the top: a fact that can no longer be ignored by the global political community. Apparently, Brazil has top top marks in all disciplines – a champion. A champion? It was this perception of Brazil abroad that led us to bring out a publication about the Brazilian development model. Because, in Brazilian civil society, another perception of its own state and the politics it pursues prevails. From the perspective of social and ecological justice, social movements and NGOs recognize a development paradigm that is all too similar to what came before and that, at the same time, has revived several large-scale projects from the times of the military dictatorship. They have also been criticizing a model that even conventional economic opinion considers to be founded on unsteady ground, as it relies on the exporting of raw materials and agrarian products – markets that are traditionally subject to considerable price fluctuations. Above all, however, critics say it is a development model that incurs considerable social and ecological damage as well as significant costs. This publication takes a closer look at this discrepancy between how Brazil is perceived by those outside of and within its borders. In doing so, we must bear in mind that the debate surrounding the Brazilian model is taking place within an international context, the parameters of which were summarized at the Rio+20 Conference. What kind of development do we want on the planet, what kind do we need, and what can we still achieve in the future? These should have been the main questions posed by a UN conference dealing with sustainable development, a “Rio+20,” in the year 2012.

    Artigo Original ESTRUTURALISMO DE CELSO FURTADO E O NEOESTRUTURALISMO DE FERNANDO FAJNZYLBER: PREOCUPAÇÕES DESENVOLVIMENTISTAS CONVERGENTES Structuralism of Celso Furtado and the Neostructuralism of Fernando Fajnzylber: convergent developmental concerns Silvio Antonio Ferraz CARIO Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) [email protected] Lucas CORRÊA Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) [email protected] Maria Luísa Lacerda ALBERTÃO Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS) [email protected] RESUMO O estudo sobre desenvolvimento econômico foi central nas obras de Celso Furtado e Fernando Fajnzylber. Ambos tiveram passagem profissional pela CEPAL, cujo método histórico-estruturalista influenciou fortemente seus escritos ao longo do tempo. A preocupação em explicar as razões do atraso econômico da América Latina, levou a convergência de ideias em vários temas. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desse artigo é apresentar pontos comuns nos tratamentos sobre o progresso técnico, capital multinacional, desenvolvimento comparado, Estado e projeto nacional de desenvolvimento. Para tanto, recorreu-se às principais obras dos autores que tratam essas categorias de análise. No geral, os resultados apontam problemas econômicos estruturais e decisões políticas de desenvolvimento limitadas impossibilitaram a construção de um desenvolvimento capitalista mais autônomo. E, em linha com os autores, somente um projeto nacional de desenvolvimento de médio e longo prazos e voltado ao interesse da sociedade, pode sinalizar novos caminhos desenvolvimentistas. Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento econômico. Pensamento de Celso Furtado e Fernando Fajnzylber. Progresso técnico. Projeto de desenvolvimento. ABSTRACT The study of economic development was central to the works of Celso Furtado and Fernando Fajnzylber. Both had professional experience at CEPAL, whose historical-structuralist method strongly influenced their writings over time.

  • O Economista E a Criação
    O economista e a criação 01/06/2012 Por Diego Viana | De São Paulo Furtado em 2000: pluridisciplinar, "ele foi o descobridor da dimensão cultural do desenvolvimento econômico e do subdesenvolvimento", diz Rosa, sua viúva Quando sucedeu a seu amigo Darcy Ribeiro como ocupante da cadeira de número 11 na Academia Brasileira de Letras, em 1997, Celso Furtado declarou que nunca pôde compreender a existência de um problema estritamente econômico. Para Furtado, toda questão econômica é também humana, ou seja, histórica, social e cultural. O economista, que foi ministro do Planejamento durante o governo de João Goulart (a partir de 1962), também ocupou o Ministério da Cultura sob José Sarney (de 1986 a 1988). Nascido em Pombal (PB) em 1920 e formado em direito pela Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (então Universidade do Brasil), Furtado foi um dos primeiros estudiosos a investigar o vínculo entre o desenvolvimento econômico e as manifestações culturais. Mas seria um erro descrever Furtado como um economista que se interessou pelo problema da cultura. O mais correto seria afirmar o contrário: Furtado chegou à teoria econômica por meio de suas reflexões sobre cultura e história. "Celso sempre foi muito pluridisciplinar", diz Rosa Freire d'Aguiar Furtado, viúva do economista e diretora do Centro Internacional Celso Furtado de Políticas para o Desenvolvimento. "Ele nunca separou a economia das outras disciplinas. Graças a isso, foi o descobridor da dimensão cultural do desenvolvimento econômico e do subdesenvolvimento." A evolução do pensamento de Furtado sobre economia e cultura, da década de 1970 até sua morte, em 2004, é explicitada no livro "Ensaios sobre Cultura e o Ministério da Cultura", editado por Rosa.

  • Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

Abstract The lawyer Evaristo de Moraes and the physician Nina Rodrigues both investigated the criminal behavior of Marcelino Bispo, the perpetrator of an attack against President Prudente de Moraes on November 5, 1897, both highlighting the same issue: criminal responsibility. Speaking out in favor of the precepts of criminal anthropology, they shared the conviction that Bispo’s criminal responsibility should be attenuated in virtue of his suggestible nature.
