THE THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT AS FREEDOM AND THE REFLECTIONS OF THE NEW INTERNATIONAL DIVISION OF LABOR IN BRAZIL

Abstract

This article discusses the relationship that Amartya Sen established for a better understanding of some concepts that impact “development freedom”, such as poverty, misery, well-being and hunger. To be reconstructed, development theory needs that the diversity of national configurations and teachings of economic history be taken into account beyond the intermediary forms of coordination, which play an important role in economic evolution beyond the sphere of action, situated between the State market . These intermediary forms of coordination represent all local institutions and bodies and have the purpose of social and productive regulation within a territory: representations of civil society, business fabric and public power.
