Paper	Celso Furtado e o pensamento econômico brasileiro
Summary	Celso Furtado’s works mark both the appearance and the consolidation of the Brazilian economic thought. His main works (like Formação Econômica do Brasil and Desenvolvimento e Subdesenvolvimento) established the reference basis to economic debate that has taken place iii the last thirty years in Brazil. The theory of underdevelopment, elaborated by Celso Furtado, supplied the theoretical basis of development, the doctrine which guided the several Latin American government’s economic policy, and asserted the establishment of the industrialization in Brazil. This article seeks to recompose the steps for constitution of the theory of under-development, explaining the main theoretical questions about that problem and its practical results.
