This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of Brazilian economic thought ranging from colonial times through to the early 21st century. It explores the production of ideas on the Brazilian economy through various forms of publication and contemporary thoughts on economic contexts and development policies, all closely reflecting the evolution of economic history. After an editorial introduction, it opens with a discussion of the issue of the historical limits to and circumstances of the production of pure economic theory by Brazilian economists. The proceeding chapters follow the classical periodization of Brazilian economic history, starting with the colonial economy (up until the early 19th century) and the transition into an economy independent from Portugal (1808 through the 1830s) when formal independence took place in 1822. This book is ideal for international and national scholars in social sciences, students in both undergraduate and graduate courses in economics, and any individuals interested in Brazilian economic and intellectual history.

This book is a part of a project to study the economic reforms implemented in Latin America and the Caribbean in the last two decades. This publication analyzes the investment process and attempts to link macroeconomic aspects to sectoral, microeconomic and institutional factors. Thus, it examines the impact of structural reform, institutional change and market structures in conjunction with important legal and regulatory aspects. The book also contributes to the understanding of the investment process in the context of the economic reforms.

Inspirados pelo desafio de repensar a temática do desenvolvimento, tendo em vista as novas questões e realidades presentes no cenário histórico global do início do século XXI, intelectuais e pesquisadores brasileiros compartilham aqui suas ideias sobre as interações entre natureza, sociedade, ciência, tecnologia e cultura em benefício de um novo modelo de desenvolvimento que seja democrático, socialmente inclusivo e ambientalmente sustentável. Como diz Ignacy Sachs no prefácio à obra, "o ecodesenvolvimento é sustentado por um duplo conceito ético: de solidariedade sincrônica com todos os passageiros da nave espacial Terra e de solidariedade diacrônica com as gerações futuras." Este livro apresenta, sob uma variedade de perspectivas, as referências conceituais que norteiam o trabalho de educação para a sustentabilidade do Espaço Israel Pinheiro em Brasília. Dessa forma, reúne artigos de seu organizador, José Augusto Pádua, ao lado de artigos dos seguintes especialistas: Ricardo Bielschowsky, Maurício Andrés Ribeiro, José Eli da Veiga, José Roberto Novaes de Almeida, Pedro Dallari, Juliana Santilli e Márcio Santilli, Vera Lessa Catalão, Martha Barata e Paulo Wrobel. Desenvolvimento, Justiça e Meio Ambiente foi editado em parceria com a Editora UFMG.
