Celso Furtado
Celso Monteiro Furtado (July 26, 1920 – November 20, 2004) was a Brazilian
economist and one of the most distinguished intellectuals of the 20th century. His work focuses on
development and
underdevelopment and on the persistence of poverty in peripheral countries throughout the world. He is viewed, along with
Raúl Prebisch, as one of the main formulators of
economic structuralism, an economics school that is largely identified with
CEPAL, which achieved prominence in Latin America and other developing regions during the 1960s and 1970s and sought to stimulate economic development through governmental intervention, largely inspired on the views of
John Maynard Keynes. As a politician, Furtado was appointed Minister of Planning (
Goulart government) and Minister of Culture (
Sarney government).
