Querido diário:
Nem sei bem a origem do assunto. Talvez a delimitação dos contornos da Esquerda A, minha preocupação com o tema. Tenho um amigo, Marcelo de Oliveira Passos (blog aqui, Fb aqui), que repercutiu um artigo de Jorge Arbache (artigo aqui) que teria maiores afinidades comigo (id est, a Esquerda A) do que com o próprio Marcelo (que não opinou sobre esta afirmação). Lá no P.S., tenho mais material recompilado do prof. Marcelo. Os parágrafos finais de Arbache são:
So, one has plenty of reasons to believe that improvements in the political arena and approval of fiscal adjustments and new proceeds, including the tax levied on financial transactions – the CPMF – seen by the Government as a panacea, are unlikely to suffice to significantly alter the prospects of growth.
For Brazil to grow, it will have to carry out a vigorous reform agenda that increases productivity and competitiveness and encourages investment. For that to happen, the State will have to be smaller, but more efficient and strategic, develop pro-growth institutions, improve governance and transparency, promote an environment of trust and intervene smartly in areas such as education, science, technology, health, social policy and infrastructure.
Increased productivity, competitiveness and investment will also require reforms to ensure well-defined regulatory frameworks, promote competition, strengthen markets, enhance manufacturing value added, modernization of the service sector, reallocation of resources from lower to higher productivity activities, promotion of economic diversification, and increase of savings.
Finally, and above all, knowledge integration to the global economy will have to be at the center of the growth strategy.
A new development model is long overdue and the more Brazil procrastinates to recognize it, the greater will the challenges be to ensure a competitive and vibrant economy in the 21st century. A political consensus will definitely help, but, at this juncture, it will contribute, but will not determine better days ahead.
