The real mechanisms of the global economy

Brazilian Journal of Political Economy, 2010, vol. 30, issue 4, 706-716

Abstract: The paper presents the main arguments of Bresser Pereira's Globalization and Competition. Development strategies based on the 'conventional orthodoxy' are shown to carry serious drawbacks (“Dutch disease”, pernicious effects of external saving, currency overvaluation), while a 'new developmentalism' is promoted, in spite of the widespread belief that the nation-states have been dispossessed of their room for manoeuvre because of the globalization process. The “new developmentalism” is based on domestic finance, balanced public budgets, moderate interest rates and competitiveness policies aimed at neutralizing the tendency to exchange rate overappreciation. The paper also points out a few theoretical questions the book raises. JEL Classification: F43; O11; O16; O19; O23; O24; O25.
