Abstract(s)
This chapter seeks to describe the successive stages in the training and
recruitment of economists at the service of the political regime that ruled
over Portugal between 1926 and 1974. This chapter presents the main
institutional settings for the education and practices of those who served
the government in economic functions throughout this period. Its main
aim is to show the changes that occurred in the understanding of the problems
related with the development of the Portuguese economy, seeking to
elucidate the processes of legitimation of an authoritarian regime, but
also to show the signs of a critical break with a model of economic and
social organization and a political regime that had reached the point of
exhaustion.
