In order to solve this problem and to increase the real wages, the<br />government should adopt a program in the direction of the economic development. To make<br />this possible, it is necessary: (a) to concentrate the investment in the wage goods production;<br />(b) to stimulate the wage goods demand and (c) to utilize the “normal” external prices as a<br />price indicator to the Brazilian agriculture producer.</p> <p><strong>JEL Classification:</strong> J31; J38.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Political Economy}, author={Luque, Carlos Antonio and Chahad, José Paulo Zeetano}, year={1990}, month={Jul.}, pages={344-365} }
