This volume by Gelso Furtado as an academic, economic planner and minister examines the economic trends of the 1960s, providing an insight into both the period of rapid economic growth in Latin America in the 1950s and the stagnation of the last decade.
The book is divided into eight parts, covering the economic history of the colonial period, the continent's place in international trade, the traditional economy, industrialization, recent (1960s) economic trends, international and intra-regional relations, and the necessity for structural changes.
