Crescimento x desenvolvimento econômico: um estudo comparativo entre o período do Milagre Econômico e o Governo Lula

Abstract

This paper will review the indicators of Lula and the Economic Miracle, from the perspective of the concepts of growth and development, evaluating whether the growth provided by these periods actually gave benefits to the Brazilian population. Data were collected from sites IBGE, IPEA, and bibliographic work related to the topic. The first paper presents the concepts of economic growth and development and the contrasts and connections between these concepts, bringing the opinion of authors with different points of view. It is evident with respect to the opinions of the authors, that economic growth and development concepts are distinct and not always linked, especially in Brazilian economic history. In this paper we will show the types of economic and social policies adopted by these governments so that we can take a broad view of the data collected and contextualized. The conclusion is based on data and also in the opinion of the authors who share the same questions presented in this work.
