Resumo: | Celso Furtado was an important thinker of economic development in Latin America. However, his ideas have been difficult to measure quantitatively, due to the lack of an economic theory and methodological apparatus able to depict the dynamic, unbalanced, unpredictable, and complex nature of economic development. In the 1980’s, though, complexity economics introduced complex-systems approaches into in economic analysis. In this article, we investigate the possibilities of associating fundamental aspects of Furtado’s structuralist theories, such as core-periphery structures or the need of industrial policies, to complexity thinking in general and the empirical approach of Economic Complexity in particular. We show that Complexity thinking can be linked to Furtado’s historic and structural analysis and allows to advance research on the impact of international trade on global and regional inequality as well as to reveal constraints and opportunities for structural transformation. |

Contudo, suas ideias sempre foram difíceis de investigar quantitativamente, devido à inexistência de uma metodologia condizente com o caráter dinâmico, desequilibrado, imprevisível e complexo dos fenômenos econômicos. A Abordagem da Complexidade, introduzida nos anos de 1980, propõe-se a solucionar esse problema, a partir da teoria dos sistemas complexos. Neste artigo investigamos as possibilidades de relacionar a teoria de Furtado com a Abordagem da Complexidade e a forma como os novos métodos empíricos avançam em temas fundamentais ao pensamento estruturalista, como a teoria de centro-periferia e a necessidade de formulação de políticas de desenvolvimento. Observamos que o enfoque da complexidade conecta-se com a análise histórico-estrutural de Furtado e permite aprofundar a investigação sobre as relações de desigualdade e desenvolvimento associadas ao comércio internacional e às limitações e oportunidades de mudança estrutural nas economias.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/634310.1590/0103-6351/7355porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/6343/12112Copyright (c) 2023 Rafael Kokura Poffo, Dominik Hartmann, Solange Regina Marinhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPoffo, Rafael KokuraHartmann, DominikMarin, Solange Reginareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-06-29T23:19:17Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/6343Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-06-29T23:19:17SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false |

Celso Furtado was an important thinker of economic development in Latin America. However, his ideas have been difficult to measure quantitatively, due to the lack of an economic theory and methodological apparatus able to depict the dynamic, unbalanced, unpredictable, and complex nature of economic development. In the 1980’s, though, complexity economics introduced complex-systems approaches into in economic analysis. In this article, we investigate the possibilities of associating fundamental aspects of Furtado’s structuralist theories, such as core-periphery structures or the need of industrial policies, to complexity thinking in general and the empirical approach of Economic Complexity in particular. We show that Complexity thinking can be linked to Furtado’s historic and structural analysis and allows to advance research on the impact of international trade on global and regional inequality as well as to reveal constraints and opportunities for structural transformation. |
