Abstract: This paper starts denying the optimist belief that growth alone will be ableto solve the employment problems of Brazil. Anyway, in the 80s growth was reduced inBrazil due to the external pressure. But Brazil disposes of a huge internal market. In orderto resume growth what is necessary is a development strategy that preserves the natural resourcesof the country. This strategy should avoid the opposite mistakes of “ecologism” and“economism”.The essential task is to build a “development reserve” in order to avoid the lossof resources, that may be originated from the sub or the super-utilization of resources. Aninventory of measures in this direction is presented in the final part of the paper. JEL Classification: J22; J21; J64.
