Os principais desafios para países em desenvolvimento frente às novas tecnologias e à reorientação dos fluxos para os países centrais

Abstract

This document addresses the complex situation of developing countries facing external debt, new technologies, and the reorientation of financial flows towards central countries. Generalized automation and microelectronics are diminishing the comparative advantage of cheap labor. The text emphasizes the importance of research and development, the reduction of production cycles, and the growing role of information as an economic good. Given this, it is crucial that developing countries, especially the most indebted ones, formulate an economic, industrial, and technological policy strategy that encompasses everything from education to the treatment of foreign capital. The BNDE should focus on the selective restructuring of the productive park, stimulating cutting-edge sectors, eliminating subsidies for obsolete sectors, and prioritizing governmental undertakings.
