O PAEG e o plano trienal: Uma análise comparativa de suas políticas de estabilização de curto prazo

Abstract

This work discusses the short term stabilisation policies implemented by two plans -Three-Year Plan (Trienal) of 1962) and the Government's Economic Action Programme (PAEG) of 1964 - in order to compare their main measures and results. It is intended to show that these plans had similarities being PAEG's wage policy the main point of difference. In this context, their performance differences were due to the turbulent internal and external contexts that the Three-Year Plan faced and that left it unable to solve the problems related to the distributive conflict and the external constraint. The Government's Economic Action Plan solved these problems, but the solution employed in terms of the conflicting claims was a regressive one and the external constraint was overcome with a help of US authorities that was not offered to the Three-Year Plan.
