No 2024_22, Working Papers, Department of Economics from University of São Paulo (FEA-USP)

Abstract: With a vast bibliographic production, Celso Furtado addressed relevant themes and interdisciplinary approaches from the perspective of Economic Science. While the works that discuss the author's contributions to Latin American structuralism, regional development, and the economics of culture are traditional, it was only more recently that literature identified reflections on environmental issues in his production. This article aims to explore Furtado's work, elucidating how the environmental variable was mobilized in different ways in his interpretations throughout the 20th century. According to the article's argument, especially from the publication of The Myth of Economic Development, the environmental variable becomes a powerful instrument of critique against neoclassical economic theory.
