Abstract: This article is a tentative approach to reconstitute the circumstances which characterizedthe creation of the so-called “CEPAL economic thinking”. The author initially triesto associate this thinking with the “keywords” (or “power ideas”) of “economic development”,“industríalization” and “economic planning”, which has been raised and establishedin Latin America at the end of World War II. Furthermore, analyses the general lines of theCEP AL thinking, trying to identify its innovator character and the necessary steps to obtainan active position by the State, assumed as the inductor entity of such development. A briefevaluation of the resulting impacts of such ideas in Latin America and Brazil, including theinstitutional point of view, is also considered. JEL Classification: B22.
