After forty years of an average<br />annual growth of 7%, the GDP per inhabitant dropped 5% in that decade. Ignácio Rangel,<br />a Marxist economist, foresaw the coming of the crisis in 1978, and suggested the only way<br />out: the privatization of the public utilities. That was before Reagan and Thatcher. The “Brazilian<br />Duality” is the mainspring of Rangel’s thought. According to it, the national economy<br />must be analysed from both its “internal side”, i.e., the national economy itself, and its “external<br />side”, the world economy.</p> <p><strong>JEL Classification:</strong> B31; B24.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Political Economy}, author={Guimarães, César}, year={1994}, month={Jul.}, pages={571-586} }
