Abstract

Em junho de 1961 o economista americano Douglass North visitou o Brasil por três semanas, em missão organizada pelo Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos juntamente com o Instituto Brasileiro de Economia da Fundação Getulio Vargas (IBRE-FGV). A missão de North era avaliar os planos da Superintendência do Desenvolvimento do Nordeste (Sudene) para o Nordeste – o que envolveu encontro com Celso Furtado –, proferir palestras sobre crescimento regional e julgar a qualidade do ensino de economia no país. Este ensaio trata do “encontro” entre North e Furtado no sentido amplo do termo, ou seja, não apenas o encontro que tiveram em 20 de junho de 1961, mas também o encontro entre as suas respectivas ideias sobre como desenvolver a economia nordestina. É baseado em material inédito formado por documentos originais que se encontram na coleção “Douglass North Papers” da Duke University Library. In June 1961 the American economist Douglass North visited Brazil for 3 weeks, for a mission organized by the US State Department and Instituto Brasileiro de Economia (IBRE-FGV). The goals of North’s Brazilian mission were to evaluate Sudene’s plans for the Northeast – which involved meeting Celso Furtado –, to give lectures on regional growth and assess the quality of economics courses in the country. This paper deals with the “meeting” between North and Furtado in the broad sense of the word, that is, not only the actual meeting of June 20 1961, but also the meeting of their respective ideas about how to develop the economy of the Northeast. It is based on new material formed by original documents of the “Douglass North Papers” collection held at Duke University Library.
