Roberto Campos e o ordoliberalismo alemão: idéias e planejamento para o Brasil (1963-1987)

Abstract

This historical research pervades the politics field, this work discusses the influence of German ideology known as “ordoliberalism”, an economic theory built by Germany in postwar, and was responsible for the “German economic miracle” during the Cold War. This proposition was designed by the School of Freiburg, in which a scientific committee developed a theory that possess characteristics more liberal and less Keynesian, professing a market economy with state intervention in certain aspects. This theory can be seen in works of political Roberto Campos early in his political career, and certain weightings at the end of it, in which the intellectual undergoes a process of metamorphosis in thinking about Brazil, transferring and adapting theories economic and social well, inspired in Germany and the United States to Brazil, since he was a diplomat. His theories and adaptations can be seen in the JK government and military dictatorship of Castelo Branco, culminating in the Economic Miracle in the Medici government, always thinking in the state as a provider of guarantees and civil liberties, as expressed in the ordoliberalism.
