Maria da Conceição Tavares has a distinguished role in Latin-American thought, transiting from Structuralism to a critique of the cepal tradition that would lead to the creation of a new field in the economics of development, the so-called "Campinas School". This paper discusses an essential dimension of her intellectual transition: the innovative treatment of the relationship between dependency, capital accumulation, savings, and income distribution.

The paper discusses the issue of development and dependency in the work of the Brazilian sociologist Fernando Henrique Cardoso as possible explanation / understanding or interpretation of Brazil. It departs from the critical Cardoso ECLA structuralism and Marxist approaches on addiction through the fundamentals of his theory of dependence, where the position of the present political pacts between elites / national and international actors shape the pattern of dependence and associated development. This discussion highlights the importance given by Cardoso' s Policy, which assumes the centrality of economic analysis in place, and as the author articulates, departing from Marxist dialectics. A critical analysis from a methodological orientation assumed by the author and given to political centrality to development thinking and Brazilian dependence will be analyzed as a fundamental explanatory / interpretative understanding, especially for Brazil.
