Description
Summary:Recently deceased, Celso Furtado's (1920-2004) legacy to the development of the social sciences in Latin America & the development process of Brazil & the reSHgion, still awaits a profound analysis. He certainly was one of its intellectual leaders in the sixties & seventies, & the article tries to underline a few aspects of his work & the spirit behind it. No doubt, it is just an invitation to read him; much more could be said about this, but not in a paper written as a tribute to a man for his lifeSHlong dedication to the cause of fighting poverty & inequalities all over the world. Adapted from the source document.
