Abstract

This article examines Alberto Guerreiro Ramos’s contributions to understanding the dilemmas and prospects of Brazilian economic development, emphasizing the originality and relevance of his thought. The methodological approach is based on a bibliographic review, aiming to identifying the State of the Art on the subject. The analysis is structured around four axes: i) biographical context, ii) theoretical-methodological foundations, iii) critiques of structural obstacles, and iv) proposals for a national-developmental project in Brazil. The study concludes that Guerreiro Ramos’s work represents a landmark in Critical Sociology and Sociology of Development, in Brazil and should be further explored in contemporary economic studies. JEL Classification: B31; O10; P16; Z13.
