Material type: ArticlePublisher: São Paulo : Editora 34, out./dez. 2000Revista de Economia Política = Brazilian Journal of Political Economy 20, 4 , p. 102-115Abstract: This article examines Eugênios Gudin theorical production that express his new liberal posture, which highlights his opposition to Roberto Simonsen, Cepals economic development theory, Marx and followers. Gudin recognized Karl Marx as the biggest enemy of capitalism. He attributed to the thinker the creation of the concept of capitalism with historical connotations. Radically denying this content and balancing the conception of the natural and eternal character of this system, he focused on capitalism as a production system which connects itself harmonically with democracy. He worked with the pair of concepts: economy market and democracy as an antithesis of planning and totalitarism, structuring the discourse that stress the abstract general plan, disregarding a concrete-historical analysis for each specific case. Consenquentely, every aspect that does not fit that pair is considered undemocractic and interventionist, as an equivalent denial of the human ideal, sometimes that should be avoided, or even destroyedThis article examines Eugênios Gudin theorical production that express his new liberal posture, which highlights his opposition to Roberto Simonsen, Cepals economic development theory, Marx and followers.
