Abstract

RESUMO O artigo, em primeiro lugar, resume o estruturalismo latino-americano e apresenta razões pelas quais foi tão influente e durável na região, atendendo a demandas reais, e fazia parte da principal economia da década de 1950. Segundo, diz por que, com a Grande Crise dos anos 80, o estruturalismo acabou se transformando em crise, pois não conseguiu acompanhar o ritmo de novos fatos históricos, particularmente com a revolução ou a decolagem industrial, que tornaram as economias latino-americanas intermediárias, ainda em desenvolvimento, mas totalmente capitalista. Terceiro, lista o quase-consenso ou consenso sobreposto que existe hoje sobre o desenvolvimento econômico. Quarto, opõe a “ortodoxia oficial” ao “populismo desenvolvimentista”, o primeiro derivado da economia neoclássica, o segundo ao estruturalismo e oferece, em relação a seis questões estratégicas, uma alternativa de desenvolvimento.ABSTRACT The paper, first, summarizes Latin American structuralism, and offers reasons why it was so influential and durable in the region, as it attended to real demands, and was part of 1950s’ mainstream economics. Second, says why, with 1980s’ Great Crisis, structuralism eventually ended itself into crisis, as it was unable to keep pace with historical new facts, particularly with the industrial revolution or take-off, that made Latin American economies intermediary, still developing, but fully capitalist. Third, it lists the quasi-consensus or overlapping consensus that today exists on economic development. Fourth, opposes “official orthodoxy” to “developmental populism”, the former deriving from neoclassical economics, the later from structuralism, and offers, in relation to six strategic issues, a development alternative.
