Abstract

This thesis deals with Brazilian assimilations of German lineages of economic thought, between 1889 and 1945. In Part I I discuss the theoretical and historiographic issues involved in the research. The study of history of economic thought is placed into a theoretical framework and, within this area, I sketch some considerations on the nature of the international diffusion as a field of historical research. In Part II I approach German nineteenth-century economic thought: the formation of Nationalökonomie, the lineages most influent in Brazil and, finally, three personal cases Friedrich List, Adolph Wagner and Carl Landauer which give concrete substance to the history of ideas presented before. Part III focuses on the tropics and examines German influences on: Rui Barbosa, the industrialists of the beginning of the Brazilian Republic, Francisco Simch and Roberto Simonsen. The main conclusion of this study is that there was an effective appropriation of German economic thought in Brazil, although topics were not incorporated in a uniform manner. (AU)
