Resumo
On June 9th, 1964, it was created in São Paulo the National Association for Economic and
Social Development (ANPES). ANPES was a think tank which main aim was to conduct
surveys and technical studies that permanently assess the economic politics of the
government, but also aimed to suggest measures and guidelines through a better
understanding of the reality investigated, bearing in mind, primarily, to accelerate the
capitalist development in Brazil. In front of this process, there was the career diplomat
Roberto de Oliveira Campos, a member of the Brazilian technocracy that intended to combine
business activities with academic tasks and planning. In terms of execution, many capitalists -
especially people from São Paulo - dissatisfied with the direction and paths that Brazil
followed with Goulart government, decided to support the initiative. Therefore, took part in
this endeavor: civil engineer Ary Frederico Torres, the military engineer Edmundo Macedo
Soares and Silva, industrial and banker John Adhemar de Almeida Prado, the lawyer Lelio
Toledo Piza and Almeida Filho, economist and civil engineer Lucas Lopes, agronomist Luiz
Simoes Lopes and the entrepreneur (and president of the Commercial Association of São
Paulo - ACSP) Paulo de Almeida Barbosa; these technocrats would then assume the vice-
presidency of ANPES. Still in this proposal: the banker, industrial and agricultural engineer
Theodoro Quartim Barbosa hold the technical board of this association; while the bankers
Sérgio Pinho Mellão and Gaston Eduardo Bueno Vidigal, respectively, exerted positions of
financial vice president and president of the institution. Meanwhile, the 1964 coup occurred.
Campos, who served as first general secretary of this institution, becomes Minister of Planning
and Economic Coordination of Castelo Branco’s government. Soon, other technocrats of
ANPES are recruited to the military governments. In this dissertation we inquire the
relationship of this institution with the establishment of the military dictatorship in Brazil,
presenting and justifying, therefore, the need for this historiographical study about the
existence of ANPES.
