Os economistas no Governo
註釋Professor Maria Rita Loureiro's book studies the life, education, career and participation in government of Brazil's most illustrious economists. It could be said that the economists of the second half of the twentieth century in Latin America assumed the role of the religious and the Church in the Middle Ages or even in the colonial period. The priests had the task of explaining the meaning of life, the mysteries of religion, obedience to the absolute power of the king, and even the virtues of slavery. In the twentieth century, economists are the professionals charged with explaining other mysteries -- the injustice of income distribution, the function of private propreciousness, the insufficiency of state resources for social (albeit priority) spending, the need for recession, and so on.
